Topic	Cops arrest nurse because she refused to draw blood from an unconscious patient

"Unconcious" is a completely irrelevant details The actual punchline is that a cop can't order labs and, in a hospital, doesnt have authority over medical professionals. And you're assuming that the cops bypassed the ER, got to the actual medical area (there's PHI bins everywhere), bypassed all the doctors and demanded a random nurse to draw labs on a patient. If that's what actually happened, then you have an argument. I suspect the nurse got an order to draw labs from a physician and refused to do so based on misinterpreting the hospital's policy on drawing ethanol levels on patients who are arrested but not being admitted for treatment. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] <cite>Coffeebeanz posted [p:885809685] in Cops arres...
