My guess is that you don't understand something. It seems like you are suggesting that healthcare professionals should just keep on driving if they come upon YOU, YOUR WIFE, YOUR CHILDREN lying on the side of the road bleeding or gasping for air. Indiana most certainly has 'Good Samritan' laws in place to protect someone/anyone who is making a good-faith effort to help. That is as it should be. We train school teachers, fire(wo)men, EMTs, police(wo)men, doctors, nurses, therapists, nurse's aides, cooks, restaurant workers, and countless others HOW TO SAVE A LIFE IN AN EMERGENCY. Are you somehow suggesting all these trained professionals just leave folks to die in the street? I am struggling to comprehend that. Why train them, and tell them to go lights and siren to the scene just to watch people die? Their entire purpose is to do SOMETHING.I'll update the subject to a more realistic title: "Dont carry a trauma kit if you are health care professional because you could be sued for malpractice."
At least here, you are protected by the good Samaritan law. But that doesnt apply if you are health care pro. If you screw up as a pro, you can be on the hook. At least as I understand it.
How those laws apply to healthcare professionals is of absolutely no interest to me, nor should it be. I carry a gun, and a 'Stop-the-Bleed' kit. Always. If you, or anyone else is in need of emergency medical treatment, I will make every effort to provide said treatment within the limitations of my knowledge, skills, and abilities. Each and every other healthcare worker I know would do the same. I am a registered nurse working peri-operative care in the Cardiovascular center at Elkhart General Hospital, most likely the best unit of its kind in the state. I am here to do this job, in no small degree, because I had a heart attack 12/31/2018, and others were willing and able to help me. God help us all if people stop helping other people.
PS: Red Cross Basic Life Support should be required every year, in every high school in Indiana.
