What is the Good Samaritan law in Nebraska?
Full Question:
I’m a kidney patient. While I was in office, I fainted due to high blood pressure. My colleague took me to the medical room in our building and left me with the nurse over there. This colleague knows about my health and diseases still he did not care to take me to the hospital. Can I sue her for not arranging for further treatment despite knowing about my disease?
