By medical training I presume that you mean one of the following categories:
1) Medical Doctor
2) Registered Nurse
3) Athletic Trainer
4) Emergency Medical Technician
5) Fire Fighter or Police Officer with appropriate EMT training.
I know that in our brother/sisterhood of officials we have people that fall into one of the five categories listed above. And while we as officials are not to get involved in the medical care of an injured player, I would presume that for people in the listed categories they have an ethical, professional, and in some states a legal obligation to provide the appropriate assistance. And I have no problem with that and I would expect them to provide that assistance due to their training and profession.
