Could it have been some sort of liability thing? Like the nurses at my old work weren't allowed to do any sort of first aid stuff to colleagues unless they were the official attendants. It's like a not your job, you'll get sued if anything goes wrong kind of thing.

As EMTs we were expected to go into dangerous situations all the time. Nobody mentioned liability. I think they were just annoyed to have to replace the equipment.
