Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in North Carolina

A doctor's moral obligation

This is a scenario. Dr. Hamel is walking on the beech in NC. He sees an individual who is bleeding. He did not want to get involved so he continued his walk. Where can I find case law and court decisions from the internet on this type of case?

Thank You

John
