2 beers, on day off, in personal car = fired

All of your examples are not held to different standards.

A lawyer can choose to not be a lawyer when not in court.

A doctor can choose as well.

 

0.04 is allowed because research has shown that testing for amounts lower than 0.04 is unreliable. Therefore, 0.04 IS practically 0.00.

I do think that ALL licensed drivers should be held to the 0.04 standard, not just CDL drivers.

 

In the case of a doctor, if an emergency arises, a doctor, nurse, or EMT is obligated to stop and assist, as is anyone First who has First Responder/Red Cross training. They can be held liable otherwise.

 

This is where you are not correct.

No doctors or nurses or any licensed practioner, First Responder, EMT or Paramedic are required to stop and render aid. They are not on duty and are released from the duty to act as required while on duty. They are exempt from nuisance lawsuits under such activities.


It is one thing you learn in detail when you become a medical professional.

 

can we all agree that this commercial pretty much sums up what we're all trying to agree on? If you want to drink, DON'T DRIVE!

 

I find that interesting, because when I went through my college Red Cross course, my Medical Ethics course, and when I took my Nursing Assistant course we were informed that we were required to stop and render assistance. Also, my cousin is a registered nurse and had to stop to render aid at an accident while she was on vacation.

 

It's called "Duty to Respond"...and unless they have changed their policy, the ARC has no duty to respond policy, in fact the ARC is very clear about not "volunteering" outside of your domiciled registry. They have been hit with too many "wrongful death" and "causing gross harm" law suits. The ARC does not teach anything above Advanced First Aid anymore because of that, aimed at the "lay person", Boy Scout, or basically the general public.

EMT 1,2,3 and P are taught and certified by the AMA and directed courses under strict "First Responder" guidelines. They strongly recommend a trained and certified EMT, of any level to only "volunteer" services to protect the stability of an injured person, not to engage in drastic lifesaving measures, and only in the region, zone, or district where your training and certification are filed and are current in standing.

As an EMT-P, I was certified in NV, CA, and OR...outside of those states, I have/had no "duty to respond". Also, unless properly equipped, render no aid except patient protection. In other words, don't allow another citizen to unintentionally cause additional pain or trauma...i.e. don't allow the patient to be moved unless it is absolutely necessary.

 

You are all forgetting that the OP is talking about Ohio, you know, the communist state! So glad I left there 14 years ago. Only state I ever received a ticket in that I didn't deserve, 2 speeding tickets!

 

Your saying you deserved them in all of the other states?

 

I have had 6 speeding tickets in my career. 4 of them in Ohio, 2 was caught dead to rites but the other 2 was bogus, I wasn't speeding. The other 2 I have had I deserved too.
