Yes they do it is they're sworn duty to help those in need, here's a better example if you were driving by the car crash would you drive past it and stare at those in need or would you go and help the injured person/people in the car wreck.

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Medicine is a profession in the service of human and collective health and must be exercised without discrimination of any kind, and the physician must act with the utmost care and to the best of his or her professional capacity, whenever necessary and independent of place.

According to medical ethics, it is the duty of every healthcare professional to treat any patient who is in an emergency situation and is life-threatening, even if that patient is not in the doctor's office. Thus, it is an ethical obligation for health professionals to provide care to injured people after an accident at an intersection.
