Section imposes on the perpetrator of a crime a duty to obtain necessary medical aid for the victim. 73 H. 236, 831 P.2d 924.

Where evidence that child was a victim of battered child syndrome was relevant to show that child's death was not an accident, but the result of an intentional, knowing or reckless criminal act, giving rise to a duty on defendant's part to obtain medical care for child pursuant to this section, trial court did not err in admitting expert testimony that child was a victim of battered child syndrome. 101 H. 332, 68 P.3d 606.

Applicable to the perpetrator of a crime. 8 H. App. 506, 810 P.2d 672.
