This is perfectly fair, right now this would be a professional consequence not legal. Is creating a legal duty to provide adequate care a road people are interested in going down? I know when I lived in Italy it was a criminal offense to pass a auto wreck without stopping to render aid so that's kind of the line of thought I'm thinking of.

I honestly haven't given this idea much thought so I don't have an opinion.
I believe New York already obligates on-duty emergency responders to provide aid in such cases, yes. I don't think Garner's situation is too comparable to whether responders should get involved with such a wreck, though, as he was already in the custody of responding officers when he needed help.
