They could just de-monetize medical channels

It would be pretty challenging to implement a feature that removed ads only before first aid videos.

How do you know what is a medical channel programmatically?

They could easily just postpone ads for all videos. Most instances could save some vital/fascinating information until after the ad, but the CPR basics could be summarized quickly before the ad. By then your hands are fully engaged so you have to let the ad play, and afterwards you can learn about the depressing statistics of anyone surviving, much less recovering fully.

Perhaps they could just add a toggle for the uploader that made sure no ads play in front of the video

They could just do it manually from top results for relevant searches. Not fair (wouldn’t get most of them) but better than the current status
