If I read it correctly, In Indiana, immunity is only granted to a certified first responder, like a paramedic.

Patrick, I don’t suppose that you have ever heard of Good Samaritin laws. In most US states a person cannot be sued if:

They render aid on a strictly volunteer basis.
The person in need of aid gives their permission.
The person giving aid acts in a responsible manner.

If’n the person in need of aid is unconscious, it is considered a defacto permission. Also in most US states it is considered to be a criminal offense to fail to render aid to a person or persons in a life threatening situtation.

Interesting place for a tire ad, too. Wonder how long that lasted before it was completely covered with handwritten paper ads showing what bands are playing where, who has a couch for sale and lost-pet announcements?

With a little modification, this could also serve as a suicide booth, a la ‘Futurama’.

In the USA today, it would also include a lawyer that would file legal proceedings against you the moment you render help to someone.

This would make a good TARDIS.

How long does anyone think the supplies would remain in the booth if left on a public street? And I’ve gotta wonder about the boy “guarding” the injured victim… Are they afraid someone will steal him if left unattended?

and on the wall is a mirror for last-minute grooming.

It is important to look good in those first aid situations. I bet they also proved useful for the services of the ladies of the night.

Reminds me of the Orgasmatron in Woody Allen’s movie “Sleeper”.
