I am sure that they have to take CPR classes. You would think so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A validation of my medical license for my state. I dont carry mine but my husband carries his. AJ, Would you assist someone absent your credentials on your person or is the risk of getting fined too great? And Would you allow someone to assist to your personal medical emergency knowing they weren't carrying their papers? I know its off the track of the OP but its still linked in part by the absenteeism of the required piece of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a plane, to rush past a stewardess who is telling you to sit down, would tend to get the air marshall a tad bit upset. You would be risking arrest. Even with the best intentions, the airline in our sue happy american society has to be careful. So I can see the point of view of the airline. As for helping others, in my state, we have a good samaritan law, where if you are injured in a car wreck, and someone tries to help you but ends up hurting you more, that person is exempt from being sued. Unless its a medical person. Medical professionals are not exempt under the good sam law. I know medical professionals who hesitate because of that exemption. Because people will sue a medical person without just cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
