Re: Good for them
Actually it has nothing to do with Oregon or Good Samaritan Laws. It is the same everywhere in the USA. Good Samaritan Laws only protect you from lawsuits if you screw up when you help someone. It has nothing to do with requiring you to help.
And yes, most people that are trained in CPR,first aid, etc would stop and help since that is normally why they trained. But people should think twice about mouth to mouth or getting involved in a situation with any body fluids because of the high chances of diseases carried through bodily fluids. Make sure you use a mask/gloves before helping anyone. This is the main reason that the ARC changed their CPR training to not require mouth to mouth anymore. Chest compressions are considered enough on their own. |
