Sadly many doctors and nurses will not answer a call for help as they are far too worried about possible litigation
This is not true in the USA.

A "Good Samaritan" provision in the Aviation Medical Assistance Act of 1998 limits the liability of air carriers and non-employee passengers unless the assistance is grossly negligent or willful misconduct is evident.
