First Aid Kit


ORIGINAL: juliany27

Mark,
Please don't be so cynical; I am a lawyer [and Boxster 2.7 2004MY owner - so I do havbe a brain] and can tell you that the law about going to the rescue is quite strightforwards. So long as you do your best in an emergency, and assuming that you are not a medically qualified professional, you should nor expect to be sued if you act in ana emergency. In any event, there is always your conscience if you drive by and do not use a first aid kit after an accident when someone is injured. If you cannot stand the sight of blood, try directing traffic and ensuring that the emergency servies attend. Incidentally, I have a full first aid kit in the boot of the Boxster; my first aid certifiacte ran out years ago and I always stop if i come across an accidne to help if I possibly can. Never sued - but I don't announce that I am a lawyer.
Hope this helps.

Well that's good to know. (I think perhaps you took me too seriously though[;)]) I think I indicated I felt it better to help?

Having said that, I was told a few years ago that St Johns Ambulance personel were not allowed to give heart massage to someone who's heart had stopped - in case they broke a rib. It seems to me that the danger of a broken rib (and possible punctured lung?) from over enthusiatic heart massage is preferable to the result from not re-starteing the heart [&:]
My frustration with stupid rules and regulations is probably compounded at the moment by my companies "Health and Safety" insisting that the new lights above my desk - that floodlight my work area and give me a regular migrane in the afternoons - MUST stay on, as "someone might trip with them off". With them off there is still more than enough light from the other lights around, and I'm the only one that goes near my desk...[:mad:]

So, does anyone know why we don't insist on a first aid kit? - almost every other country does.
