Let 'Em Die

If you’re not a trained medical person, and you see somebody in a burning car, do you pull them out or just let them die? The latter, according to California law today. When I was a paramedic, EVERYBODY who tried to help someone in such circumstances were covered by the “Good Samaritan Law.” So nobody had to worry about being sued if they saved someone’s life, but left them paralyzed in the process. So now more people who aren’t medical professionals will NOT help those in distress, for fear of being sued. I predict the number of people who die in such cases will increase exponentially in the future. (Common Sense)
