Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

Any hospital
licensed in this state may provide to any person appearing or represented to
be seriously sick or injured, without admission of such person to the hospital
and without the immediate presence of a licensed physician and surgeon, such
emergency treatment and care or, if such hospital does not maintain and
operate an emergency department, such first aid services and care as may be
indicated, considering the facilities and personnel available. Neither any
hospital nor its agents or employees providing such services, pursuant to
standby orders duly promulgated by the medical staff of said hospital, shall
be deemed, by so doing, to be engaged in the practice of medicine, nor shall
any such hospital, its agents or employees, or any physician be held liable in
any civil action arising out of the furnishing of such services and care, in
the absence of gross negligence under the existing circumstances.
