That said, they are certainly under no obligation to (and in fact, legally should not) share that information with the police.


So you're admitting you're wrong then?


Are we talking about drawing blood or sharing information with law enforcement?

Because she is being arrested for refusing to draw blood. In a hospital ER. As in, a chemically intoxicated unconscious patient is not having labs drawn because a nurse doesn't want to.

That only goes with your argument if the cops found a way to literally bypass a doctor and demand the lab straight from a random nurse, which is insane.

No, the hospital does not have to share information with law enforcement. Yes, the nurse is obligated to draw labs if a doctor orders it. The context of this scenario is everything.



You haven't even read the article that was posted have you? Here I'll help!

In a written report, Payne said he was responding to a request from another police department to get the blood sample, to determine if the patient had any chemical substances in his system at the time of the crash. Payne explained the “exigent circumstances and implied consent law” to Wubbels, but she said “her police won't allow me to obtain the blood sample without a warrant,” his report says.
