What is an appropriate reward for saving a life?

If it was all he had to give- yes.

In other words,
it was precious TO THE DONOR.

Yes, and probably to the recipient - once or if he knew what it cost the donor to give him that.

You know, one of my most prized possessions is this little gold-toned heart with a green gemstone that one of my students gave me. I know it was used - it was scratched and tarnished when he gave it to me - not real gold and I'm sure it isn't a real emerald.
I don't know where or how he got it - but the fact that he wanted to give me something to say 'thank-you' made it precious to me.

Perhaps you and Lloyds could work up a proper schedule.
Is the value to be derived of the life saved? Which factors to consider? Age? Size of extended family? IQ? Or would a flat rate be best?

Perhaps effort of the lifesaver should be considered. Education? Hourly? Unique skills? Personal risk?

To whom will be ascribed recourse for failed life saving attempts?
Will I be entitled to a second opinion?

Single payer system? Would I be able to opt out?

For this service, how much will u remunerate me ??



Whatever factors u want,
if u pay enuf for it.
(U know the Golden Rule:
He who has the gold rules.)



Let us know, when u decide.



Sounds fair.


Yeah!


Malpractice ??????????

If u pay for it; (remember: Golden Rule)


After payment of services rendered, yeah.

Is this a penalty or a tax?

No

Oh, that reminds me of a little boy I used to tutor. When I was in high school I took this tutoring class - it was supposed to get you ready or determine if you would like to be a teacher. I tutored a 3rd grade boy that had all sorts of issues - he was actually very smart, but had been handed off from different homes. They had me tutor him because I appeared to be more mature than the other students in my class.

Any way, we did get along wonderfully even though he was a handful. I was able to find ways to motivate him mostly by being a positive role model and listening to him. Come Christmas time, we were allowed to give a small gift. He gave me a Christmas ornament and a macoroni wreath. I suspect he "borrowed" the ornament from the tree at his house - it was quite used with paint rubbed off. I loved that ornament.

We had a major incident this weekend. Well hubby did. He coaches my daughter's middleschool basketball team - boys and girls. During practice this weekend one boy had a asthma attack. My husband didn't even know he had asthma. This boy's dad is the assistant coach, but as luck would have it, he and his wife were away this weekend for a convention.

Hubby called 9-11 and later told me how helpless he felt as he could do nothing to try to save this boy except wait for emergency help to arrive. Fortunately he got to the hospital in time and was taken good care of.

My husband would have given anything to be able to help him - it would have been reward enough to know that he kept anything from happening to him.

I have found Primatine Mist inhalers to be fast & effective.

I have heard that the Chinese believe
that if u save someone's life,
then u r responsible for his life forever.

He didn't have his inhaler with him and my husband until that moment didn't know he had asthma.
