LAST EDITED ON Sep-01-17 AT 09:36AM (MST)[p]http://time.com/4924750/utah-nurse-arrested-blood-draw-patient/
(SALT LAKE CITY) ? A Utah police officer's body camera video shows a hospital nurse being handcuffed after refusing to draw blood on an unconscious patient.
The video taken at University Hospital in Salt Lake City shows nurse Alex Wubbels calmly explaining to Salt Lake detective Jeff Payne that she couldn't draw blood on a patient who had been injured in a car accident. She told the officer a patient was required to give consent for a blood sample or be under arrest. Otherwise, she said police needed a warrant.
The detective is also a paramedic and should know better.
