My understanding is that a trained person (police, fire fighter, doctor) is not exempt from the "good samaritan" law.

I believe that if I helped a person with CPR and break the persons ribs and puncture a lung and they die I cannot be sued because I was a "good samaritan" and did not have to help out. However, the police, EMT and fire fighters must help and I believe can be sued if the same situation occurs.

All I can say is CHA CHING for that boy!!

In my Dr. Evil voice....one hundred million dollars!!
