[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 585862, member: 484"] The problem with something like this is that someone that has watched House or Mash thinks they know what to do. And end up doing more damage than good. I remember not that long ago some teens riding around in the back of the pick up. One boy was streaking/truck surfing, or what ever they call it. Fell out of the back of the truck. He had bad injuries, especially to the neck. Some of the kids tried to help by putting on his shorts, and actually made the injury more severe, severe enough to have killed him. Every day there are accidents that injure or kill people in the states. Doctors and nurses drive by, not willing to assist for fear of the possibility of getting sued. Same for the docs at the hospital. They will run all sorts of tests, many that are not needed in reality, but because a lawyer can make a case that you could have run those tests to further the healthcare of the patient, they are run anyway. There is a whole industry among lawyers that feed on this type of conduct, which is one of the reasons our healthcare costs are so high, including liability insurance for doctors. d [/QUOTE]
