Response to "A Doctor's Dilemma"

The fact that James Dillard had to think twice about trying to save the man that got into an accident because of the threat of lawsuit is kind of sad. I understand that the man could have been paralyzed or had serious permanent injuries, but without Dillard trying to save him he probably would have died. I don't know if I could have driven by if I had the kind of education that he did without feeling a huge amount of guilt. While becoming CPR certified, the teacher always told us to just try anyways because you aren't hurting anything. I feel like that was the same type of situation. That leaves me wondering if someone who attempts CPR could be sued if the patient was left with a serious injury or disability? Being held responsible for someone living or dying is something that I hope I never have to face. I have no future in the medical field;  I can't imagine seeing someone die right in front of me, knowing that I couldn't find a way to save them. My overall reaction to this article is kind of angry, that someone who has the training but isn't technically qualified could get in trouble for trying to save someone's life. The man that now faces drunk driving charges and is alive because of Dillard, should be nothing but grateful and use it as a sign that he needs to turn his life around.
