Con permiso, Dra. Folgar:
1) He who denies help/rescue to someone in danger or grave risk to health
and limb and who is otherwise capable of rendering such assistance without
risk to self or to a third party will be sentenced to prison for 3 to 12
months.
2) The same sentenced will be served by a person who is not capable of
rendering help/rescue, but who fails to seek immediate help from a third
party who is capable.
3)A healthcare professional who fails to deliver care to a person who
suffers grave health consequences from the with-holding of such care will be
punished by prison time of 9 months to 3 years and a loss of professional
license for a period of 6 months to 3 years.
Quisiera añadir lo que cada Americano piensa decir en este momento: Lo
siento mucho lo que está sufriendo el pueblo español en estos tiempos tan
amargos.
