I went out to a bar the other night with a few friends from work. we got to talking, what if someone went down in the bar. two of us were medics, and the other two EMT's. the other medic there was under the impression that we were to NOT HELP at all, because we had been drinking. question is, what are the laws in your area on this issue, what do you think. do you think that if you had one beer, and it usually takes more than 6 to get you toasty, you would be able to at least do CPR. what about someone going down, and there be two medics there, but they cant help. is that abandonment? do you have a duty to act? two medics just standing there cause they had one beer apiece. we were in plain clothes, no one knew who we were, but i just couldnt figure out what i would do. what do ya'll think?
