If a patient arrives in the ER unconscious, a blood draw is just one test to assess the reason for this patient’s state of consciousness?

If you're unconscious and need immediate surgery because you're bleeding to death, for example, they'll draw blood to determine your blood type for the transfusion. Note however that that still doesn't give the cops the right to that information.
