Physically fit/CPR

[Brian Watson]

Rut,

I understand your point but there is a clear distinction between adminstering CPR and all other situations. If your state has the good samaritan law, you cannot be sued if your certification is up-to-date, and you adminsiter CPR.

Wicked things happen to people when CPR is adminsistered, the side affects are known going in, that is why you cannot be sued. I think it is also why they gloss over them in class.

Your association lawyer is right if it is anything other than a heart attack, I am keeping people away and doing nothing. But when you need to give CPR the ballgame changes, and there are laws there to protect you.
