The ER doc would obviously have ordered a serum ethanol level as soon as inebriation was suspected. Granted, if the cops are just trying to push the nurse to do it as quickly as possible so they can send in the results, that's straight-up illegal.

But. We. Don't. Know. That.

Contextually speaking, the nurse SHOULD draw the labs as soon as possible for purely medical reasons. And then she can tell the cops to fuck off because they aren't allowed to have the results without his consent. The issue at hand here is that she's refusing to DRAW labs. Not that she's refusing to give away private health information.


"Payne was temporarily suspended from the department’s blood-draw program — where officers are trained as phlebotomists so they can get blood samples — but remains on duty, Shearer said"

I don't know where you're getting the idea that the hospital didn't already treat this man for his medical conditions (especially considering he was burned pretty badly). The cop isn't asking for the results, he wants blood. If you would just read the damn article you wouldn't be so ignorant to this situation, but I think I'm catching on to the gimmick and I'm gonna try to not let you rustle my jimmies.
