What is the Unauthorized Practice of Medicine?

I'm just trying to make sure no one ever accuses me. Most of our doctors are obviously not  doing medicine, they are just practicing for the real game to come.

I think I would fall under this line.
Helping save a persons life falls under the Good Samaritan act and you are covered from lawsuits in most cases.
I do wonder about doing that in a hospital with a doctor standing by doing nothing. Can you get charged for practicing medicine on yourself?
