Indeed, but American news reports aren't very optimistic right now...

I really enjoyed Paramedics on TLC (Discovery?) a few years ago. It was along the lines of Trauma: Life in the ER on the same channel. IMHO, best show so far. It had realistic portrayals of our job, along with a few behind the scenes segments. Not everyone was a...

Old School ~~ I like it... =)

By "quality" do you mean "in your price range?" :P

I've had police razzing the patients similar to the scene the OP described. Usually I'll just ask the cop to step out for a minute while I talk to the person, but stay close to the door. That lets the pt know that I have LE as backup, but far enough away to give them a chance to chill out a...

I was born & raised in Cleveland; we haven't won a World Series since 1948. "Wait until next year" is my mantra =)

Now for the rest of the story, specifically, exception 1. Here's the link: http://www.concentric.net/~Maxfax/files/law2.htm. Good Samaritan laws are normally designed to protect laypeople from liability in cases where they attempted a good-faith effort to provide care, not to cover woefully...

Happy birthday, Brother...

Just wondering if your instructors even mentioned standards of care. Withholding treatment to the accepted norms for a similar patient could easily be considered (or argued by an attorney) as failure to treat (read: negligence) in a jury trial. That would be the one where you're the defendant...
