  • Summary

  • In Episode 23, we tackle the important topic of the duty to act for EMTs and paramedics, breaking down common myths and misconceptions. Does displaying a Star of Life sticker on your car mean you’re on duty 24/7? What if you’re wearing an EMT or paramedic shirt in public? We explore the legal realities of when EMS professionals are required to provide care, the nuances of negligence, and how duty to act varies by state and situation. This episode provides clarity on what it means to be "on duty" and how to navigate the responsibilities of being an EMT or paramedic, even when you're off the clock.

    Disclaimer: This episode is not official legal advice but rather an educational discussion on EMS operations. Always consult with your attorney and refer to specific state/jurisdiction laws.
