Quote:The truth is that any Dutch citizen is obliged to help another person needing medical attention to the best of their ability, regardless of their medical training or background. So in their failure to help, regardless of their training, they can be (and probably will be) prosecuted for not helping out.
Same here in Australia.
The US incident beggars belief. I suspect there may be a case for a really juicy civil case as well as criminal charges. I think the US has the concept of 'reckless indifference'.
