Not likely as there is the Good Samaritan law in place to protect people who for what ever reason choose not to preform CPR. A trained individual may not always fall under preforming CPR being part of their job description. Those that work in the medical field are required to use CPR if a patient is in need of it can be sued to negligence.

What are examples of medical malpractice bycommssion?

I think you mean by omission. Medical malpractice is defined as professional negligence by act or omission by a medical professional. This would include a doctor who fails to catch signs of cancer; a nurse practitioner who misdiagnoses an ailment or a nurse who does not respond to troublesome vital signs of a patient. There is a link on fail to diagnose that goes into more detail below.

Can a mouse ruin a truck clutch?

the answer is yes it could poo in the pipe and block the liquid from traveling round the pipes The answer is more likely to be no, if a mouse chewed through a cluch hose the cluch would just fail to work, repairing the hose would repair the clutch. It could if it isn't trained in the proper way to drive a stick-shift. The best way to teach him how to do it is to ride along side in the passenger seat and talk them through it. Be patient as it might take them a while to get used to it. Good luck with that. - Rocky_B

It is not so bad to try and fail and try and fail again as it is to try and and fail and fail to try again?

It is worse to try and fail and fail to try than to try and fail and try and fail again because if you keep trying and failing, then you will someday reach a point where you get it, because incorrect answers are not endless. If you were to fail to try, than you could never get anywhere! Does that makes sense?
