I originally posted thinking that the point was that the medics needed to move onto other patients under emergency conditions.
I was trying to find out what an average citizen could do to help their loved one after 20 minutes of CPR. I have gotten sound points about oxygen, and the need for drugs to keep them here and have a decent chance. If they did revive, taking to the hospital could be done by loved ones.
I don’t know if they would take a dead body with them when they are busy going to one emergency after another during extreme weather conditions.
But a felony???? Really??? How long has that been on the books?? If the person is DEAD, how could anyone be charged with interfering???
I suspect if an EMT team declared someone beyond further help, they would not want a citizen to continue working on someone with the possibility of proving them wrong.
It's the government. They would probably not allow a private individual to intervene in any way at all.
