    As usual Lemmy downvoting things they don’t agree with, even if it’s true.

    I was with a physician friend on the Las Vegas strip as a guy went down with a heart attack. I’m like, this is your moment! Go save them! And she grabs my arm and yanks me into a doorway so I can’t make a commotion, explains that no doctor will simply do that, it means they’re on the hook for it, when an EMT is just minutes away and is properly prepared to handle it. She said if doctors didn’t obey this unwritten rule, they’d constantly be giving out care to random people, possibly without admitting privileges in nearby hospitals, taking on liability they’re not insured for (being outside of a hospital), etc.

    So you’re completely right.
