Re: Call 911 for help - and get sued

It's good that the case was dropped and she lost her job, but I'm still dumbfounded by the whole situation. Now I have no formal rescue training, but every class and lesson I've had on first aid starting with cub scouts all the way up through my Red Cross CPR certifications always began by stressing the same thing: Check the scene before doing anything else. Make sure you keep yourself safe, otherwise you are useless and can become another victim. I don't think I'm going out on a limb here in guessing that day one of any formal EMT training covers the same thing.
