Suing a good samaritan? What the hell?

I can't even express how annoyed I am with this. I find it so hard to believe that someone would be OK with suing a person who attempted to save them from harm. I certainly hope that if this woman does sue her co-worker she wins absolutely nothing! It's unfortunate that she is now paralyzed, but I in no way see why he should be held accountable. I understand that she contends that she would have been better off had he let a professional help her, but how does she really know that? Should she win the lawsuit it will make good samaritans hesitate to help others and that would be unfortunate.
