Response to "Doctor's Dilemma"

I think that the fact that the man might have filed a lawsuit against Dillard for possibly paralyzing him is absolutely awful; I mean if Dillard hadn’t stepped in he probably would have died from lack of oxygen. By the time I am done with college I would like to have a degree in pediatrics so I am kind of putting myself into his shoes right now and wondering what I would have done in his situation. I would like to think that I would help the truck driver who is dying and can only be saved by me. But then again I don’t know if I would because that is a huge liability, because if that man is paralyzed then there would never be any chance of me ever becoming a pediatrician. I think l that I would still help the man because if I had the training to possibly help save a man's life and I didn't, I would feel really guilty for not helping him. If Dillard would have been sued then the man didn't deserve to be saved, but also I think that you could make a case for Dillard, because he saved the mans life, because the procedure that paralyzed the man saved his life, so therefore it was either, live and be paralyzed, or die.
