§ 2305.23.
No person shall be liable in civil damages for administering emergency care or treatment
at the scene of an emergency outside of a hospital, doctor's office, or other place
having proper medical equipment, for acts performed at the scene of such emergency,
unless such acts constitute willful or wanton misconduct. Nothing in this section applies to the administering of such care or treatment where
the same is rendered for remuneration, or with the expectation of remuneration, from

paid member of any organization of law enforcement officers or fire fighters does
not cause such to be a rendering for remuneration or expectation of remuneration.
