CPR Tip of the week from OneBeatCPR on Vimeo.

There is a nasty rumor that has been talked about a lot, and brought up to us all the time, and the rumor is this; if you were to see a person who was in need of CPR, and you came to the rescue, but despite your best efforts, the person either dies or is injured in the process of being rescued you would be held responsible. To put your worried mind at ease, we have The Good Samaritan law, which is a law that protects those who choose to serve and tend to others who are injured, ill, in peril, or otherwise incapacitated. The point of that is to make sure no legal action would be taken against the person who is trying to help, even in the case of death or injury. The exact quote from the Florida Health Law is

“Any person, including those licensed to practice medicine, who gratuitously and in good faith renders emergency care or  treatment to an injured personl at the scene of an emergency on or adjacent to a roadway shall not be held liable for any civil damages as a result of such care or treatment or as a result of any act or failure to act in providing or arranging further  medical treatment where the person acts as an ordinary reasonably prudent person would have acted under the same or  similar circumstances.”

Every state believes that there is nothing more important than the safety of the individual, and it is a public concern to help and aid an individual who is in danger of loosing their life.
So the moral of this story is, even though we live in a time where someone who breaks into your home can sue you for stabbing them, don’t worry about the legal actions of giving aid to someone who is in a life or death situation. If you know CPR and you see someone in need of help, use your training. If you don’t know CPR, come to a OneBeat CPR training course and be prepared on how to give a life saving technique.
