As a doctor, when you encounter a patient who needs treatment while out and about, should you step forward at this time?

As a doctor, you should stand up. There are many news reports about this kind of thing. When a nurse encounters a car accident on the road, he comes to help and the injured person saves his life. It is natural to save people. Even if you are just an ordinary passerby, you will do your best to lend a helping hand. What's more, for medical staff, it is their duty to save people, and it may even have become their instinct. They cannot stand by and watch when a patient needs treatment.

1. When doctors go out to treat patients when they encounter them, there is actually no legal risk. For example, if you encounter a patient in need of treatment on a flight, you cannot expect that the flight will have formal and complete first aid facilities like the hospital. As long as the flight has basic first aid facilities, the airline will have fulfilled its obligations. If the patient does not improve during or after the doctor's treatment, the treating doctor has no obligation to take responsibility.

2. The doctor did not bring relevant certificates, and there were no potential risks in the treatment. Sometimes we encounter some strange situations. The patient is in urgent need of treatment. After the doctor comes to help, he is asked to show his doctor's certificate. If he does not bring it with him, it is considered to be "unhelpful". But doctors don’t have to worry about this problem. As long as you are a registered doctor and you make no other mistakes during treatment, there will be no potential legal risks in normal operations. So it doesn’t matter whether you bring a doctor’s certificate or not.

3. It is a duty for doctors to save people. No matter where they are, doctors should take immediate first aid measures when encountering patients who require emergency treatment. It is the bounden duty of doctors to save lives and heal the wounded, and saving lives should be done regardless of the situation. The burden on doctors is quite heavy, and we cannot let doctors' "step forward" turn into "taking risks."
