As a side note, and am open to correction here, but I thought under our duty of care we are required to attempt resuscitation - even if it is against the wishes of the family?
As a provider of First Aid (a la cabin crew) you are only bound to administer it when under consent from the casualty. An unconscious casualty however is incapable of giving consent obviously so one can administer First Aid straight away. I believe the Next of Kin (in this case the husband) may hold the power of consent however, if they are present with the unconscious casualty.
I take out $1M insurance every year in case of being sued for administering first aid
Doesnt anyone else?
