I think I am asking for trouble so, I simply ask this where do you put the line? I don't want to battle on something off topic, so I'll keep my opinion to myself. I am curious to hear what specifically you mean, if you are willing to share, if not I understand. Any job will do just a comparison around where the line is drawn.

I didn't/won't try to argue perle/pink/teal or those without macros are good.

It's completely off topic. But I will draw your line for you, in this one post and say no more.

When dealing with strangers, the "basic" gear for any job should signify a level of competence for the task they need to accomplish, and show they're a good choice among all available candidates.

You've been shot, unfortunate, but there's a couple people around offering you help:
A stranger in a swimsuit offering to take you to the hospital on the handlebars of their bike. They assure you they're fast.
A man visiting from japan, who might be offering his help as a doctor, or asking if you need one, but you can't quite understand him.
A paramedic in uniform, with a portable 'crash kit', and an ambulance.

Now unless the paramedic was the one that shot you, I think your choice is obvious.
