I don't know how you define pretty much everywhere, but in the EU it's illegal pretty much everywhere. [0]
I know in practice those laws get ignored, but, as a paramedic or doctor, you could get into trouble if someone decides to sue over it. The reality is that the law isn't on your side on this issue.
