Did I miss an important part of this? Ok so I'm barely first aid trained - I know what a tourniquet is because I made one out of my boy scout bandanna once. I can do mouth to mouth because I was trained to do that in scuba diving (since I was the youngest in class and only 18 I got to have the prettiest girl as my training partner giggle). Anyway So I came along the trail and here's somebody who doesn't look quite dead, I know enough about the heimlich maneuver to see if their breathing passage is clear and I try a couple squeezes and blow air into them for a minute. Can I legally stop? Am I liable for stopping? I mean I can't do that for a day or two waiting for someone to come along and go call for help. If I try and they die do I Tell the sheriff that I tried? Does it matter what state I'm in?
