You can do CPR without saying you're a doctor which is really all you can do in that situation. So maybe your friend is just a piece of shit?

    by performing any medical intervention you are responsible for the care of the individual. this includes if you aren't even a doctor and are simply first aid certified.

    don't blame the doctors, blame the politicians and lawyers who made the laws.

    In Nevada, it wouldn't surprise me. The US is indeed filled with assholes.^1^ Most of the world though, has good Samaritan laws and you won't face criminal charges if you were actively trying to save a life outside of extremely gross negligence. Many places of the world also have strong first aid certification programs that further protect those certified as long as they followed the standard protocol.

    ^1^: Disregard that comment, Nevada does have Good Samaritan laws, that person's friend is just a piece of shit.
