救護技術員「救護業務」之法律視角【本期企劃】 試閱
Legal Viewpoint of Ambulance Service from Emergent Medical Technicians
在緊急醫療或到院前救護之情形，救護技術員扮演著極為重要的角色。目前臺灣救護技術員執行到院前救護業務範圍，乃係依據「救護技術員管理辦法」，該辦法中所述之救護項目，事實上多屬醫療行為，至少也是醫療輔助行為。在緊急醫療救護法第14條之2即好人法的規範架構下，使救護人員於值勤期間是否得適用民法或刑法主張緊急避難免責，因法條未有明文而生疑義。此重大疏漏，恐嚴重損及救護人員之權利，儘速修法補正乃當務之急。
Ambulance officers play an important role in emergency medicine or prehospital resuscitation. The content of EMT practice has been currently defined in the EMT Act in Taiwan, Most of the items mentioned above belong to so-called medical practice defined by Medical Law, whereas others so-called medical assistance practice.
The Good Samaritan Law defined in Article 14-2 of Emergency Medical Law provides some legal immunity of the so-called Samaritans, but result in potential legal risks for the medical professionals on duty. We should take immediate action to modify of the article to prevent unnecessary legal insult for the medical professionals including EMTs.
