Only up to the level of their training.  Certainly doctor, nurses, and EMT's
are required to render assistance and are generally protected under the good
Samaritan laws.  Myself, even though considered a medical professional, can
only give a certain amount of help and would probably not be sued.  (I am
required to stay updated on CPR, AIDS, Bloodbourne pathogens, etc).

NOTE:  I noticed that the list is still putting me email address down wrong.
My new email address is [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]

and thank you Ken for the warm welcome.  I really do love being on this
list.
