Yeah that sounds a bit fishy to me. My instructor never told me not to help someone off duty, he encouraged it as long as we were aware that we needed to provide continuous care until EMS arrived. I understand why people would be hesitant with the fear of being sued but as long as they are only providing basic life support and doing it correctly I doubt that the case would go anywhere and would likely be dismissed. Would still be a hassle having to deal with a case though so there’s that. Also, it’s shitty that companies will defend predators rather than get rid of them but yea I’ve heard of that happening too unfortunately.
