Sometimes it is simply best to back-off ....to count the cost when the cards are stacked against you !
the expression" never pee into the wind" also makes sense in this situation . ....

THe only way to stop the train is to throw the large gentleman off the bridge in the path of the train. (you realize that you are too light to stop the train by thowing yourself in front of it).
This scenario is even easier because this is call murder ! Try explaining such actions to a judge ! ....

The train hitting three people would be more likely to derail, causing an accident that could kill many more lives. If you're just playing a numbers game, let the train hit the lone moron on the second track
.Three people on the track would have about as much Resistance to a speeding train as wet confetti.. in my opinion LOL

The interpretation of this law vary by state, but with few exceptions, anyone rendering aid in good faith to another is immune from lawsuits in the U.S.
All I know is that my daughter's ambulance boss though encouraged his staff to help in event of an accident anywhere
in Canada must have had good reason for warning his staff about rendering aid in the US.. maybe your quote above in red
may answer this question .

there is a real dilemma in the situation you mention , because your public liability would be void. and you would be operating in the capacity of a private individual
Now you're getting my point .. the real dilemma is your responsibly and liability in this situation... but it does require setting aside your conscience
to save your own skin however !

Bringing up paramedics in the US is pointless as this is nowhere in the original dilemna.
Regards David
I agree 100 %.. it is pointless to mention this to you if you don't understand the concept of comparison and contrast to make
logical sense of ones answer in a given situation !...LOL

(2) refrain from doing anything otherwise you personally become responsible ...doing nothing may bother your
conscience but in this day and age of suing, taking action means taking responsibly ! Just as Canadian paramedic's
are told if traveling in the U.S. you might think twice about being a good Samaritan if you happen upon death dealing
accident.. different prceedure in treating the victims may result in lawsuits against you !

passive -aggressive ... personality disorder or rational behaviour ?
by caliber inhow should we lay persons view this ?.
it's true that if you look under "passive-aggressive personality disorder" (papd) in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (the older editions--more about that below), you find the syndrome solemnly described as a "pervasive pattern of passive resistance to demands for adequate social and occupational performance.
" but once you delve into the history of the term, you realize that--at least in the eyes of its critics--it's mostly useful as a high-flown way to call someone a pain in the ass.

These experts make a distinction between passive-aggressive behavior, which most people display at times, and passive-aggressive personality, which is ingrained and habitual. In milder forms it can come across as a maddening blend of evasiveness and contrition, agreeableness and impudence, and in severe cases is often masked by more obvious mental illness, like depression
Related Patterns http://www.earley.org/Patterns/passive_aggressive.htm
The passive-aggressive pattern usually includes the insecure pattern.
Controlling is the opposite of passive-aggressive
Assertive is the healthy goal for a passive-aggressive person.
A passive-aggressive person may need to become defiant for a while in the process of growth

I can only speculate that people who fear direct confrontation resort to p/a behavior to vent their angerin a way that will not produce a backlash. If there are situations that can possibly make this behavior beneficial -- Parakeet
OK if you're in already volatile group of out of work people.... you decide I'm going to throw a stone through the office widow..
You could now be attested for inciting a mob action if things get out of hand. On the other hand if you ask if one alone could go in
and address your concerns in words things may go different.. you could still be very angry inside but with the right words
and tact you could avoid an outburst of anger and frustration and actually make some points that could be addressed.
Yes it's still direct face to face approach but it doesn't have to be confrontational to the point of losing your cool !
Direct venting of anger is an excellent way to lose your job ... do you need to vent your anger or keep your job
and pay the bills ?
