The following ROE's are from the new book "Adrenaline Junkies" A Paramedic Nightmare. Rules Of Engagement are different OJT (on-the-job) life rules of how you would approach a scene or situation.

R.O.E. #12 "Patient's in trauma situations, who are pale and /or    
                    moist are in late stages of shock. These people should
                    receive O2 soon, real soon."

People with any kind of trauma should automatically be given low flow oxygen, people who are traumatized, pale, and moist need lots of oxygen. In
a real hurry.

R.O.E. #13 "Newton's Law: For every action there should be a
                                              positive and equal reaction."

                    "Holt's Law: For every sign you see, there should be a 
                                         positive and equal treatment in your bag of
                                         tricks."

  When looking at a patient, colors, smells, touch, hearing, seeing, could trigger a reaction. You should be able to interpret the reaction to a treatment in your bag of tricks. 

An example of each of these rules are used during a situation in the publication  "Adrenaline Junkies" A Paramedic Nightmare. This would be a great Christmas gift for the reader on your list.
