Sports doctors' resuscitation skills

[...]I received no response to my letter concerning this 4 which indirectly posed the question, "should doctors who attend aquatic sports be able to deal with a suspected cervical spine fracture and recover the casualty?" Obviously, that is the task of a lifeguard in the same way that first aid at non-aquatic events is the task for a first aider, but perhaps doctors should be competent first aiders and/or lifeguards.
