The premise in this episode is that a Navy Corpsman does not receive the same automatic certification as a medic from other services in spite of their identical training. While this may be true, it isn't really relevant in accident response situations. First responders who are not EMTs or Doctors are protected by "good Samaritan" laws in most states, including Virginia. Because of this they are protected from charges and suits while providing assistance to injured persons and waiting for emergency units.
It's also worthwhile noting that Navy Corpsmen are recognized as Marines because of their combat attention and support for Marines in action. It would have been nice to see a passing reference to this during Gibbs support for her work, especially since the woman in this story received a Bronze Start for actions.
This has been one of the most reliably excellent shows on the air, and I hope they continue to achieve success and keep up the great performance.
