As for those with training, I think it's required that they help someone in need, otherwise they could lose their license if it's found that they don't (this is what I hear from friends that are RNs and such).

Either way, if someone's seriously injured and innards are exposed or there's a lot of blood, and I decide to stop and help - There's going to be one extra body to pick up off of the ground, 'cause I'll pass out from that stuff. I can't handle too much blood or anything exposed that shouldn't be.
The good samaritan law only covers you if you are trained. If you come up to a scene of a accident with no first aid training and try to apply CPR or apply a tournique, you can be sued by the person in need of help, unless you have applied consent (ie if the persion is unconscious) However if you have some sort of first aid training and you do what you are trained to, then the good samaritan will cover you incase of a law suit. In Canada, if you have Saint Johns Ambulance First Aid training (which everyone in the military gets), they will cover your law suit if you follow the proper training.

As far as i know, only 1 province in Canada requires you by law, to assist if you have first aid training. You will not be sued in any other province if you dont help. I've been to plenty of accidents and helped out. 9 times out of 10, ill stop. Only time i dont is if medical services are already there or if its impossible for me to get to the scene, ie if im on a bridge and traffic is preventing me from turning around.
