No ...you can cause other secondary injuries when applying First Aid it happens eg when applying CPR on elderly people it’s very easy to break bones, when it comes to how your protected legally with First Aid the law is on your side except if you apply First Aid to someone who refuses it then this becomes assault, if you apply CPR when knowing the casualty has a DNAR certificate/letter this is also assault,

Not sure how someone will loose a limb from a tourniquet applied in the U.K. (proximity to trained medical personnel) they’re good on an injury for quite a long time (first aid course at work always includes tourniquets and putting them on - they are fucking painful)

Speaking of tournequets. Is there a legal issue when using it? As in, its applied to save a person's life but they loose a limb. Is there legal recourse? What if they say that it was used unjustly when something else could've been done?
