I read another version, that the cop is a phlebotomist who does blood draws on DUI suspects, that he HIMSELF wanted to do the blood draw, and the nurse wouldn’t allow him access to the patient. Further that the patient was not only unconscious, but burned, and therefore at very high risk of infection, and obviously the police officer is not trained in infection control the way a medical professional is, and should be no where near that patient. IMO, the doctor in charge should have stepped up as well, administration should have been called, and the hospital attorney. The nurse shouldn’t have to face down,by herself, a police officer violating not only hospital policy but the law, and endangering a patient.

That's what I had read as well. I have done tons of these draws for police in hospitals and the paperwork comes first.

So what do you think their motive was in pushing this so hard?

Why was it so important to them to get blood from a burn victim that is unconscious and was in fact an injured party who was run into? He was an innocent who was run into by the person they were chasing.

I can’t do anything about all this but I sure would like to know what the cops were up to. This is much like the guy that the SLC cops shot in the Walmart parking lot who had in fact done nothing wrong.
