    The Good Samaritan law generally protects unprofessional people from legal liability if attempting to save a life. The point is to get someone to dial emergency services first, and then don't quit CPR until a paramedic or other professionally trained person tells you to.
    I cannot even understand having to worry about the consequences of self a selfless act, even if there are any....beyond my moral comprehension (:
    I would hate to think i just stood there helpless,so yes i would.
    My training in CPR was pretty well the same instruction perform procedure until paramedic arrive.Your just trying to save someone life.
    Yes. Wouldn't think twice.
    I have in the past, and the victim survived. But I must admit the thought of this person dying did worry me from a liability standpoint. Everybody is suing everyone for anything now a days.
    wthout a doubt unless they were a lawer, then id just call the pros in
