THE GOOD SAMARITAN?
A woman was involved in a serious motor vehicle collision on a country road. Before emergency vehicle could arrive, an off-duty family practice doctor was driving by and stopped at the scene. He decided to see if he could help.
Did the court rule FOR or AGAINST the Doctor?
The court ruled FOR the doctor, and against the woman’s husband. The court agreed that the doctor should not be punished for responding to an emergency medical request when he was not obligated to do so.
Verdict: $0
