If I saw someone with a defibrillator ripping the clothes off an unconscious woman, I don’t think I would suspect foul play.

You might not, but you gotta remember that the public is also filled with idiots

While my cousin’s neighbor is fighting a law suit because, a woman (cousin’s neighbor) used defibrillator on another woman(when her heart stopped) , and other woman is now suing the neighbor for some minor marks from defibrillator. Mostly neighbor will win the case, but she has to appear in court now. Makes me feel so angry and i don’t even know the neighbor lady.

in these cases sometimes the insurance makes you sue even if you don’t want to because otherwise they won’t pay for any of the debt

My colleague has a situation where he’s being sued by his neighbor for minor burns after a firework accident a few years ago 4th of July. The neighbor doesn’t want to sue him but has no choice to get the medical services paid for.

And you have to remember that there’s a difference between what some random idiot on the street thinks and what someone can actually be prosecuted for.

Jesus Christ, do the fucking CPR

Surely there are good Samaritan laws even in the US?

It’s not just about being prosecuted, but publicly judged and shamed for.

Never said I wouldn’t do the CPR. Only pointing out that in an emergency situation that people are fucking stupid and that a random idiot could easily interfere violently with what they think might be sexual assault

I agree do the CPR but my fear would be getting kicked in the head not sued

Which is why all the most clever rapists carry defibs.

If you EVER see a man carrying a defibrillator, 9 of 10 times, he’s a rapist.

What’s worse, the extra super clever ones, ride around in ambulances with disguises to make them look like paramedics.

Whenever I see a rapist mobile with flashing lights, I run them off the road.

I’ve saved at least a dozen women already this year.

To be fair there are rapist mobiles and they do have flashing lights, they just don’t say “Ambulance” on them.

I could imagine someone thinking “wow he took her bra off, that was unnecessary”. Since correct defib use isn’t really common knowledge
