Hummmm

As far as an EMT being sued for doing CPR "wrong" Not so. I've seen many,as I call them, "variations" of CPR done as a member of a CODE team for 24 years in the medical field, and never as anyone been sued!!!
Also, according to today's newspaper in an Associated Press report, "The homes's parent company said in a statement that the employee wrongly interpreted company policy when she declined to offer aide."
