Helping People
Can a person sue a dentist if he denied further medical care after helping him in an emergency?
I’m a dentist and I fix a person’s teeth that were broken in an accident at his workplace. I rendered the service only because he called me in an emergency situation. Now he is coming to a follow-up treatment that too he is not ready to make any payment. He says I’m liable for the follow-ups since there is a doctor-patient relationship. Can he sue me if I didn’t treat him?

What is the Good Samaritan law in Wyoming?
My neighbor’s son while playing in our garden got hurt. In order to stop the bleeding I had to give this child a few stitches. The wound is taking too long to heal and the parents are blaming me for the help. I am a registered doctor and I know that the wound would soon heal, it just that it will take time. Just in case the parents file a case, will I have to compensate them in any way?

What is the Good Samaritan law in North Carolina?
I helped a guy at the accident scene. This was a hit and run case. What I did was I dropped this victim at the hospital called his wife (got her no. from victim’s wallet) and left the place. The nurses had come and taken over. I don’t know what happened further. I did not wait to fill in the forms or other formalities to happen as I was getting for an exam. Could I land in trouble?
