§ 6545. Emergency services rendered by physician assistant.
Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of any general, special or
local law, any physician assistant properly licensed in this state who
voluntarily and without the expectation of monetary compensation renders
first aid or emergency treatment at the scene of an accident or other
emergency, outside a hospital, doctor's office or any other place having
proper and necessary medical equipment, to a person who is unconscious,
ill or injured, shall not be liable for damages for injuries alleged to
have been sustained by such person or for damages for the death of such
person alleged to have occurred by reason of an act or omission in the
rendering of such first aid or emergency treatment unless it is
established that such injuries were or such death was caused by gross
negligence on the part of such physician assistant. Nothing in this
section shall be deemed or construed to relieve a licensed physician
assistant from liability for damages for injuries or death caused by an
act or omission on the part of a physician assistant while rendering
professional services in the normal and ordinary course of his or her
practice.
