Thanks gentlemen.

You know what's funny?

The law, even as interpreted by the California Supreme Court, completely protects medical care providers when they use their skills to render assistence in an emergency. Guess some other excuse other than protecting one's "accumulated wealth" will need to be dreamed up for refusing to help...

Nitpick? Ya damn right. Sure hope my CPA nitpicks when he does my taxes. I'm glad my engine builder picked every nit when he did my heads. I sure as hell hope my doctor nitpicks when he reads medical journals before offering an opinion..."I missed that" just isn't acceptable.

The level of intoxication and whether it rendered the defendant's actions unreasonable is a question for the jury. This was an appeal from a summary judgement motion...not a final ajudication. Smoking dope and going to a bar...I don't know, not my first choice for someone to care for my ass when I'm incapable.
