I was shopping this weekend and witnessed an elderly man falling and hitting his head pretty hard. My first instinct was to help, but then I hesitated because of liability, scope of practice, etc. Luckily, someone called 911. How do you handle medical emergencies when you're just out living your life? Do you jump in or call for help and wait? What about car accidents - do you stop?

I've never stopped to help out at a roadside accident just because when I've passed them it would be more dangerous to stop and EMTs were already there. I've pitched in at times when people have been injured at picnics, ballgames, and so on. If I saw someone fall and hit their head I'd probably offer assistance before giving it a second thought. Not sure if that's legally reckless, but it's just instinctive.
