Actually, I believe that there is something about how having certification hurts your defense were the person whose life you saved to sue you for damaged body (sternum from compressions to the chest, for example) in the attempt of saving their life, so I've let my certification expire, though not my knowledge.

really? if someone saved my life i wouldnt even care if i had a broken bone or two. like seriously. iwould be so glad i was still alive yo.
id probably become best friends with whoever saved my life.

Those sort of people tend to mess with things like that.

yeah.. there are some really nasty people out there :c

:c...*hugs*...
And some less nasty...

Yeah there was a court case where a person sued some one for saving their life because they preformed unlicensed CPR. I know most people would be grateful but that seemed like a dick move, and with so many court cases around it would not hurt to be careful.

//sigh
some people i swear e.e

Yeah I know. It makes me sad. Though i keep seeing commercials for class action lawsuits, those make me laugh.

i dont get why people think its ok to do that, i dont even have a lawyer or know what i would do to go about hiring one.

My dad has this thing called legal shield. Its a monthly service that he pays and when he needs it he can call and get a lawyer. Its pretty hilarious. Other wise I would say you can contact a public defender.

Yeah I really wouldn't know how to go about doing something like that

Well the easiest way i can say is to get into a car accident xD. I know when my friend got into one I had a mail box full of letters from lawyers wanting to take our case. Other wise the magistrates office may be the best place to find a public defender.

well i can only hope ill never need one though

It's so awful to sue someone who just tried to save your life - it reminds me of the Incredibles.

I guess the justification is that by doing it wrong you saved the persons life but at the same time you may have damaged something internally? I dunno but it makes people less wiling to be nice.

Man it makes me scared to even try ya know
