THE UNDERTOW WARNING

I have medical training—CPR, triage, trauma response. In survival situations, practical skills directly translate to lives saved. I can maintain water rationing systems, identify edible plants, navigate by stars, and manage hypothermia protocols. I've also worked in disaster relief, so I understand resource allocation under scarcity. I won't panic under pressure. This isn't about relative worth as people. It's about utility. The lifeboat's purpose is survival and rescue coordination. Medical knowledge and crisis experience maximize those outcomes for everyone remaining. That's my measurable argument for the seat.

I have medical expertise in treating dehydration and infection—the silent killers in survival situations. I've also trained in water rationing and basic wound care. While others might offer strength or navigation skills, those fade without health management. Beyond this lifeboat, I can keep survivors alive during rescue. I've seen what happens when preventable complications spiral in crisis: people die from treatable conditions. The dangerous truth nobody mentions is that physical capability means nothing if infection or dehydration claims you first. I'm not the strongest choice. I'm the one who prevents the avoidable deaths everyone tries not to think about.
