“Unfortunately I don’t think that Good Samaritan laws apply to professionals.”
In some areas, they do - I read that a medical professional cannot be sued for malpractice in a good samaritan situation IN SOME AREAS/COUNTRIES. Again, because there isn’t any apparent national policy (which exists in some countries), people just don’t want to help because of the uncertainties. Frankly, under the present circumstances (like the one described in this post), I would tend not to.
That is why I was somewhat hesitant in my response.
As a former police officer and certified Paramedic, we (in my state and city) were often reminded that we were subject to all the malpractice laws that other medical professionals were subject to.
Fortunately, our malpractice insurance was covered by the city.
