Full transcript
In an emergency, nobody stops to ask.
Section 7(f) covers a medical emergency
involving a threat to life,
or an immediate threat to health.
Pause. Whose life, though?
Yours, or any other individual.
The clause says any other individual.
So a stranger's emergency is covered too.
It is narrow in time, wide in who.
Emergency, not convenience.
