said by Nagrom Nniuq:lol no you can not. I am a Paramedic and I know the laws back to front. You can only be charged with a crime if you are actively working in the capacity of a paramedic, doctor, nurse, etc.
Joe Blow on the street who knows CPR and sees someone die in front of him can walk right on by and up to a police officer and tell him he knows CPR but is not going to help and still cannot be charged with anything. He has horrible morals and ethics and is one of the worst people out there but has committed no crime.
Good Samaratain laws vary from state to state. I am in TN. The laws here state if you are a average Joe that has CPR or First Aid training you choose to use it. If you are a professional you are required to assist (i.e. a cardiac arrest in a mall, passing a car accident, etc) only if you are on-duty. Most I knowm stop regardless and my former employer would put the employee "on the clock" while they are at the scene in order to have them covered by malpractice insurance, etc.
