Evidently not as they released the nurse and suspended him, what a dumb ass.

Well, he *can*, but it won't end well for him.  Looks like he's already been suspended.

That nurse deserves a reasonable bit of compensation.

One of our flight nurses had a run in with a WA State Trooper when they did a scene call. They were loading the guy in the helo when the trooper came over and demanded that they draw blood for him. Hilarity ensued when the nurse told him to take a hike and they took off.

The whole issue of blood draws on drunks has been an issue for years.
There have always been ER staff who objected to doing blood draws for whatever reasons.
They always had us over a barrel because LEOs needed people who were trained/ certified in bllod draws to actually get the blood
Some states have responded by starting to certify LEOs to draw blood for DWI cases, IIRC
I would think that this issue is nothing new and every hospital should have had a policy in place years ago on how they would do blood draws for LEOs

Yup - and the same thing would happen in ANY other determination. Hide your toys boys. You have no clue of what 's coming down the line. We'll be dreaming of the good old days under the 1994 AWB.  They'll even have the damn TSA out kicking in doors.

The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) (or Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act) was a subtitle of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms, so called "assault weapons".


How many ways can that go wrong?

I don't think the issue here is blood draws.  The issue here is court order.  This bozo thought he could just show up, tell someone to do it, and it would be done.

The incident is still under investigation. Suspension with pay isn't punishment, its "park him until we figure out what to do". IF they decide that he

gets punished, it may turn into suspension without pay.

No it's not. The reason is because an investigation has to be done to see what if any policy violations occurred.  IA receives bogus complaints all the time and if an officer was sent home each time without pay BEFORE the investigation was complete nobody would remain a cop. Who could live like that?

Exactly. No consent and no court order = assault on the PT if you draw the blood anyway, at least in the two states I have lived in.

I am certified to draw blood, administer meds, perform surgical crics amongst a whole plethora of procedures and dont work in an ER.

Yes.  Because there was no probable cause.  He unconstitutionally jacked some dude up, cuffed him, took him to the ER, and then when the nurse wouldn't draw blood, he arrested her too.  

Also, that's Johnston County, NC.  There are no public employee unions in North Carolina.  The legislature banned then in the 1950s.

§ 95‑98.  Contracts between units of government and labor unions, trade unions or labor organizations concerning public employees declared to be illegal.

Any agreement, or contract, between the governing authority of any city, town, county, or other municipality, or between any agency, unit, or instrumentality thereof, or between any agency, instrumentality, or institution of the State of North Carolina, and any labor union, trade union, or labor organization, as bargaining agent for any public employees of such city, town, county or other municipality, or agency or instrumentality of government, is hereby declared to be against the public policy of the State, illegal, unlawful, void and of no effect. (1959, c. 742.)

Why are they even bothering a nurse. Call a fucking lab tech, that's their job.

When you have a patient in a hospital unless you have paper from a judge you arent getting shit. HIPAA is srs business, and it gets treated as such. Your tin and your barking orders do not change federal law.

You are certified to do all these medical procedures and you don't understand the various types of consent that are necessary before you can perform medical procedures on patients ?

She refused so that her ass was covered. If she did what the officer told had her she could be arrested on assault charges.

Second if your on hospital property doing medical procedures without permission you're in deep shit. They will boot your ass out and have you arrested for trespassing if you do that. The second you bring someone in they become the responsibility of the hospital. If you have some jackass off the street doing a medical procedure, which a blood draw is, that exposes the hospital to untold amounts liability.
