being a nurse.... i wouldnt stop
if someone was injured while i was helping theyd probably sue
not worth it
Have to help, and try to remember my military field training. My wife is a nurse, on the other hand, and is required by law to help.
What state are you in? I know almost all (maybe all?) states have Good Samaritan laws that make health care and private citizens immune extended to “ordinary negligence" when trying to help in emergencies (doesn't count for wanton, which would be pretty messed up). I also know first hand you can be sued or even jailed for 'not' helping if the state has a “duty to rescue” statute, even if you are only traveling through one of these states.

I can't help in this situation. There are dead, mangled bodies everywhere. What exactly would I be helping with?
i wouldnt want either of your guys help.
First thing you should do is look up your state/country's good samaritan laws and your legal liability risk for medical care on strangers. If you move someone who has a spinal injury and you accidentally paralyze them you can be at risk for being sued. Most states have some protections in place but you should check. Most you're going to do is probably holding down pressure to stop bleeding or beginning cpr. Take a cpr course and ask them about advice next time you renew. You can also get portable mouthpieces for cpr that can fit in a wallet for crazy emergencies.Being an assistant nurse, I'm trained in basic first response and to be honest I don't even know what I would do to be honest. I know what to do, but if I was put on the spot in the moment, I just don't know. I'd like to say I would absolutely stop and help but whether I could or not, I can't say with certainty. I remember talking to the trainer I saw and she told me how when she was a paramedic, someone made the mistake of removing a guys helmet after a motorcycle crash not realising the guys skull had been smashed under the helmet and during removal of the helmet his brain basically began to pool into the helmet. What paramedics, police, firemen and other first responders have to see would make any kind of horror gore seem tame, then you have to factor in the other people around, the chaos, adrenaline, smell.....yeh I dunno.
As far as photo & video is concerned though, if that's your first response, you have serious issues.
wat you complaining aboutWTF is this shit?
