Guys, please READ what I wrote,
" if you have, and are ready to use invasive treatment on people then make sure you have medical indemnity insurance. If you are a member of the Coll of Paramedics this covers you for that sort of thing, but be warned if you haven't got it, no matter how good your intentions are, your house is at risk !!! "
Invasive is the key word, this is responding to the lads with tampons and IV and ET tubes etc etc, you cannot take part of a sentence and quote it . Please read.
And, anyone can be sued, otherwise just has been pointed out, the mere claim to be giving first aid would give everyone a blank check. Judges in this country tend to use "reasonable " as a bench mark.
I have had a first aider removed from an RTC by police as he was opening a womans shirt to check for injuries (????) while she was bleeding profusely from a head injury and shouting at him ??? I refer you to the episode when Peter Griffin loses his CPR card, please review.
