JRutledge-
I understand everything you said, and I agree with what you are saying about when you put on a striped shirt that you are doing a job as an official not as a medic or doctor or EMT.
I am not telling anyone to do what I would personally do. If I am the only one their and someone keels over. Am I afraid of being sued for what "trying to save a life".
It is a catch-22. If I do not do anything, I can be sued also. Normally where I have officiated at their is someone else that is medically trained.
Like I said previously, If it is my choice to sit and watch someone die or save a life or worry about being sued for all my millions(just kidding). A life is more important to me.
