Default Nursing at Sea

Do you have liability insurance for that defib? Remember, Suzy is a
nurse,
she's no longer a good samaritan.


Bad news for you ignorant folks....Suzanne is working for a heart
center, one of the best. She was trained to use the Phillips unit and
may even take a gig teaching others. She's now teaching me the basics.
We are NOT PERMITTED to use it on ANYONE ELSE. It's for two people and
even her father had to sign a special set of forms so that we can use
it on him legally.
Now the big question: Would we use it one someone when no other help
was feasable and death seemed certain otherwise?
Yes. Our finances are pretty much untouchable, so I'd try to save a
life rather than worrying about a lawsuit.
