I believe the laws collectively referred to as Good Sumaritan laws exempt you from most liability if you donated your time, money or resources in the interest of the recipient. For example, donating food to a shelter that results in sickness of someone will not expose the donor to liability. This holds true in most states, but there are certainly various laws and standards. I don't know much about how this applies to medical donations (including a physician's time).
