This is a question about CPR.. I know I'm quailified in the medical field in giving this, but wonder if there is guidelines when a person wouldn't give it. My boss came on a scene where the person was purple , stiff and bloated and decided to call 911 and CPR wan't given and now I'm in trouble just beacuse I was working that day and I didn't give it.
Thanks
Not being an attorney, I can't tell you what all the legal issues are, but as an EMS instructor we teach the doctrine of "Duty to Act". This means that if you have a duty to respond to emergencies as a part of your job, then you must respond while you are working. There generally is no duty to act when off duty. If you choose to act when you don't have the duty to, then you provide care to the best of your ability and training level until relieved by someone of equal or higher training, just as you would while on duty. It seems the question hinges on whether or not you workplace policy mandates that you respond to emergencies while at work. I would definitely seek the advice of an attorney that is familiar with the laws on this issue in your area. Best of luck--I hope everything works out for you.
Hey There,
Fellow "EMERGENCY!" fans! I've just completed my rough draft for a comedy film, which is to be entitled:
"JAMES DEAN VS. NICK RUSSO", & I plan to somehow figure out a plan to cast (in a cameo appearance) both RANDY MANTOOTH & KEVIN TIGHE as both GAGE & DESOTO. However, I'll keep their screen time down to a fairly good mininum
because this film is a comedy from start to finish.
I myself shall portray JAMES DEAN, and I've cast TED WASS back into his original role of NICK RUSSO from the
(1991-95) tv sitcom "BLOSSOM". They first appear on the screen as they race to the RUSSO residence while driving to the rhythm of ABBA'S "TAKE A CHANCE ON ME", & then as they head to RAMPART HOSPITAL the audience in the theatre will hear BILL CONTI'S recording of the theme from "ROCKY"
against the back drop of the scenery itself!? Now there may be some follow-ups, or sequals, which MANTOOTH & TIGHE
may, or may not possibly appear in, but the titles of those possible sequals are as follows, & I quote:
"DEL SHANNON'S KEEP SEARCHING" & "STRANGER IN TOWN", with those two DEL SHANNON songs for the opening credits (one for each film). Filming to start sometime nextyear most likely, but further details shall follow later.
RESPECTFULLY YOURS.

Charlotte..
Come be a technical advisor for writers creating new episodes of Emergency along with other EMS and Fire working in the field. Four new seasons of the series planned. New episode airs each month with images and pictures from the series.
Hi, I'm writing an 'Emergency!' story about a man who has amnesia(sp) as a result of a MVA. What would the course of action be when he got to the hospital? What would the EEG results be? What other tests/treatments would they perform? And finally, what would they do to help him regain his memory? Thank you.
Emergency! Writing Project looking for a host website.

Hi there.
This is Patti, one of the theater hosts for a writing project called Emergency
Theater Live.
We're that agency group that has fans creating new episodes
of Emergency! the TV series along with real EMS and fire personnel who work
in the field. The shows are produced and then aired with images and music to the
web with a new episode being made about one a month. Nine are airing right now.
What I'm asking is whether or not you know of anyone with a website who
is willing to host our episodes on their site in links.
Our sole host now is Two Chickies.com http://www.twochickies.com
and we've just been informed by the webmaster that the site is down for
more than a while due to server cable issues.
For reference, Emergency Theater Live will be running for three years and
producers have it in stone to have only one host besides the homepage
carry our signal. Looks like we need a new host as Two Chickies is going
offline.
Let me know any advice you may have in us finding a hosting site.
To see an example of what we are about and how the stories manifest
when any month's show is airing.
