During an in-flight emergency? There probably isn't one, given the relatively small numbers of in-flight emergencys. There certainly are cases of Good Samaritans being sued for actions undertaken in good faith elsewhere, and every health care provider I know is cognizant of that. Even if the case is summarily dismissed there are still costs for the defendant that can't be recouped, and many aren't willing to take that risk.
