Then you pull the guy out of the car not knowing that he broke his back in the wreck. Afterwards, you get sued by his family for causing the broken back. Even if you win the court case you have to spend money to defend yourself. You could have criminal charges brought against you then civil. That's your free lesson that cost me 250K+ to learn. Mine was a deferent scenario but same principals apply. No one was hurt but medical records were faked. Thank heaven for red neck cowboy juries in Nevada.
Whole different way to look at things now isn't it.

You'd be surprise how many Docs do not respond to "is there a Doctor onboard" overhead calls on flights.

Ya, I like the inhabitants therein very much but US society in general/as a whole...it's wacked, man, w the insatiable fetish for guns and this potential of being sued to death, nope.
Ok, since you're a MD w that police and pedo-rapist question I posed earlier, shall I assume it's a no brainer as both cases are the same that you'd operate on the policeman first?
