Ask WYE – Issue 53 – Litigiosity: Suing Rescuers for Helping You.

Yes, you read that title correctly. Litigiosity: The term for when everyone is suing everyone else for whatever. That’s what MC does. He does puzzles and makes up words.

Listener Jeff Sinfield from the great Down Unda’ chimes in this week with a question aimed at MC but that HM has some questions about:

“Can you be sued personally on the job?” It turns out MC and his pals have a built in legal device called Qualified Immunity that HM is curious to learn more about. He asks:

• Could the removal of Qualified Immunity increase quality of service?
• Should Qualified Immunity be remove officers for wrongdoing when they apply for new positions?
• If HM and his Medic pals purchase malpractice insurance, is there a PD product that should be considered?
• Will taking away Qualified Immunity lead to more deaths?
