So this cop will be In plenty trouble. He can not make the nurse administer the test. The nurse doesn't want to be sued and lose his job for administering the test. It is not the nurses job to do what the cop wants. There are rules and regulations.

If the patient doesn’t consent they need to get a court order.

I did these all of the time when I worked ER. No biggie. What the heck is his problem? I don't get him. Where is the morality stance on a blood draw?

most nurses DNT do lab draws. There are phlebotomists to do that.

most states do the blood draw at the hospital if they refuse the breathalyzer. it is an automatic (depending on the State) but I don't understand this situation with the nurse. I've never heard of anybody refusing to do a blood draw for a DUI fatality???

A nurse, Alex Wubbels, was famously arrested in 2017 at the University of Utah Hospital for refusing to draw blood from an unconscious patient for a police officer, citing hospital policy and law requiring a warrant or consent, leading to a viral bodycam video, police apologies, an internal investigation, and a $500,000 settlement with the city and university. The officer, Detective Jeff Payne, was fired, and the incident sparked national debate on patient rights, police procedure, and the nurse's ethical duty, resulting in policy changes.

y'all act like the DRIVER WHO DIED doesn't have rights?? Damn, you kill my friend, mom, or daughter I want DEFINITE PROOF you were drunk n that's where the blood draw comes in. Why would you "stand up" for anyone drinking & driving that results in a death. You choose to drive drunk these are the consequences. The nurse needs to just do their job. Now it MAY be different state to state but if I'm that nurse I'm not getting arrested & putting my career on the line for your drunk ass, sorry. People today are becoming so obsessed with "rights" that you defend all the people at fault too, it's awful. I wonder how this family feels about their dead family member?

Yes it was inspired by a true story and the nurse was well compensated and the police officer that did it was fired why don't you put that in your article instead of just giving people part of the story

I mean if I’m a medical professional and a patient wont consent, I’m not going to forcefully perform any medical procedure on them just because another person tells me to. Get a court order. For all I know, this is just some dude pretending to be a cop and is trying to victimize someone else.

I'm not an attorney but I did do legal research for a law firm and I'm fairly certain the cop has no authority in a hospital when it comes to patient care and at the point of taking a blood test the phlebotomist would be in charge and have every right of refusal. But like I said I'm not an attorney. 🤷🏻‍♂️

this cop needs to be fired. This guy by law can't draw blood without a warrant or court order. This cop can answer should be arrested for violating this guys' 14th Amendment. it's tragic that someone was killed, but this nurse has laws that he needs to follow. This cop needs to be fired and charged, and his certification pulled for life along with his training officer fired also for not training him properly. this is a lawsuit the city can't win, and this cop loses his Qualified Immunity and can and will be held libel personally.

You do the lab draw. If not, you're interfering with an investigation. An investigation in which an innocent person was killed. This nonsense has got to stop, and ICE must deport every last illegal alien. Another innocent American dead at the hands of an illegal alien unlawfully operating a motor vehicle under the influence.

Nurses and doctors cannot do a blood draw test unless having a court ordered or a warrant to be able to even get it further more than that law-enforcement cannot take medical people away from their jobs because they refuse to comply with an unlawful order. This dude is probably fixing to get millions in this cop is definitely getting sanctioned and charged with kidnapping. False reportsand attempt attempted forgery.
