This happened at the University of Utah Hospital in 2017. An officer wanted to do a blood draw on a suspected DUI patient who was unconscious, and the nurse refused without a warrant or patient consent. The officer was later fired, his superior was demoted, and an apology was issued to the nurse and the hospital. The nurse received a $500,000 settlement from the Police Department and the University.

Chandra: Please don't call the police pigs. They are doing what they think is right. They put their lives on the line everyday. Obviously it appears they messed up if the nurse received some kind of settlement. Let's hope you don't need the "pigs" one day. For crying out loud have some respect for authority. We have enough activists trying to bring this country down.

OK geniuses. she was not wrong. Blood draws are an invasive procedure and require the patients permission. without that permission, a warrant or court order she would have been violating an unconscious patients rights instead of protecting them. i think people that stand by their values, ethics and professional codes are admirable.

they broke the rules not the nurse. They had no consent to make that demand on an UNCONSCIOUS person.👍

Apparently this nurse was abiding by our constitution & refusing to succumb to these officer’s tyranny. Our 4th Amendment protects us from unreasonable search & seizure, meaning the officers needed a warrant -based on probable cause, they need EVIDENCE of a suspected crime then submit an affidavit to a judge before the judge signs the warrant to collect a blood sample. Our founding fathers created this amendment in part because tyrannical redcoats used to unexpectedly burst into homes and search them or perform terry stops etc to find evidence without probable cause or without there being any evidence to support the probable cause to prompt the search in the first place. That’s what these police are doing. This is America, we have a constitution & laws that govern these procedures & institutions to protect EVERYONE involved. Everyone should be PROUD of this nurse protecting our FREEDOM. If we just allow police to do whatever they want it’s a slippery slope & a police state, which is

Unbelievable, I always say it’s not a cop thing it’s the persons demeanor who’s wearing the badge. He just wanted to be authoritative n she wouldn’t obey him but he knew he was in the wrong, did it anyway though.

Being a nurse, you need to protect your hard earned license. She was right to stand her ground and not be bullied into breaking the law. Not only that, the patient was unconscious and could not give consent. Suspicions from the officers will come into play in court even if the blood does not. We nurses are taught to do the right thing and advocate for our patients. That does not mean we support, or agree with what this guy did, but when someone is under our care, their misdeeds don’t matter. Following laws, and promoting safety for patients and staff is our priority, and moral duty.

The responsibility/liability should have been found with her residing shift supervisor, as her nursing license would have been at risk by this request. We don't have rights until they come into question, such as in a court of law. He said, she said. None of us. Depends on the ringmaster of the 3 ring circus. We are just clowns in the show. If she had a bicycle horn, she could squeeze the red bulb and just run and they would just grab the next clown.🤡🎪

She did not have the right to refuse a lawful request for an officer. I do support nurses, but I support law-enforcement as well. It’s an unfortunate situation being gaslit by people that can’t stand the police. I stand with law-enforcement and especially I stand with Ice.

what was the charge? they arrested her on? I am a BIG supporter of Police but this appears to be an attempt to bully the nurse into violating the law under the threat of arrest. The nurse rightfully refused. Had she done it, she would have been the one being sued

They should be arrested and put on administrative leave. This nurse has every right to refuse to draw the blood for them considering the patient is unconscious.

Two police in Wisconsin arrest my disabled son who has a serious spinal core injury because he could pass a sobriety test. He explained to them that he would do everything he can physically do, but some of the commands he definitely couldn't do, without losing his balance and falling... because of his disabled. They roughed him up, dragging him into the squad car and took him to the hospital for a blood test. Thank God they didn't cause more damage to his spine. The test came back proving he had no alcohol in his system. They also charged him for having his medical Marijuana in his car while traveling back home from his visit to see me... even though he has a medical marijuana card. Some cops are too egotistical and some are overtly racist and their patterns prove it. Those cops shouldn't be on the police force. They are actually part of the the problem, not the solution.

It’s illegal to have a blood draw unless the patient agrees or they have a warrant. Cops to lazy to get a warrant so try’s to blame the nurse over control issues. Where the nurse knows hospital policies and attorneys have to work it out. Cops would have lost in court on the person they wanted the blood draw from. The defense attorney would have noticed what the cops did and they would try to have that case thrown out of court. All the cops needed to do was get a warrant from a judge for a blood draw. Cops messed up

The nurse was following hospital protocol. The despicable cop demanded she cooperate. The nurse stated hospital protocol, and the cop did not cooperate. The nurse absolutely deserves the Settlement money. The money is irrelevant , the important lesson here is the nurse won her case and the cop got what he deserved. How many patient’s went without the nurses care while she was being detained by this incompetent cop ? She was doing her job, the cop was not.

so, what is right about taking blood from an unconscious person? I don't blame her at all. I would like to ask a question though. is it against the law for someone to do a CAT scan with dye intravenously injected into the patient without further consent?🌸 and I would like to know what is in these days that they put inside of a CAT scan patient? that it would take away their memory and like a communication for weeks on end? if I remember correctly the nurses take an oath before they become a nurse.

Most cops just think bc they tell someone to do something they should. They have the mentality of I’m in control and I just gave you a lawful order but it’s not always right or true. Then the cops pay the price as it should be. You’ve heard no one is above the law including the law itself.

I thought that if you're unconscious then its up to person with poa, & if they're unavailable its upto the authorities, and also the hospital. sometimes things have to follow chain of command, the law does not apply all the time. if they have to id me or do tests then I would hope that they would do whatever is necessary to get info they need. I have a lot of health issues and somethings I cannot have, if they do a blood & finger test they will find that out. 🙏

I'm sorry. I'm not looking up story. Just following comments and what little I seen of video. Bypassing the nurse being cuffed my concern is. Emergency room... what's the first thang they do when you go in? They start taking your shit. They gonna know if you there seeking drugs or if you really need them. If he was responding I would assume they take his shit and run a scan of his head to make sure nothing was bleeding on the inside. I mean your suppose to save not withhold.

that's Alex wubble's a former Olympic skier and she was refusing to break the law she was refusing to cause any harm to her patient even though a redneck idiot cop demanded that she do his bidding where he was basically going to make her suffer the cop that did this to her deserved prison. if you're a cop you get to take away people's civil rights on the spot you have to have clean hands when you knowingly violate an individual's rights you terrify them you embarrass them publicly and you know you're breaking the law you need to go to prison
