So legal aspect will have to be cleared up accordingly. Otherwise some good Samaritans could be suit for wrong doing. I'm not exactly sure where you live, but states have Good Samaritan laws. As long as you help in good faith, and the simple fact that you help is evidence of good faith, you are in the clear. In most states, any legal filing related to emergency medical treatment has to pass a medical review board and as long as it was in good faith, they never pass it through to the courts. If you have emergency medical training, the only criteria is that you don't exceed the limits of the training - like giving a cardiac patient a drug or start an IV if your training is at the First Responder or EMT-Basic level. I have personal experience with this so I'm fairly familiar with the process. :) |
