re: Former Olympic Athlete turned nurse handcuffed by Billy Badass cop

When it escalated to that point they should have just given that nurse the blessing to draw the blood.

And risk a lawsuit from the patient? The patient that was a victim in a car crash?

Are you out of your mind?

The legality of its collection is for courts to hash out.

Or the cop could just follow the law that he should know and that he's paid to enforce?

Any hospital that would put my feet to the fire and fire me for collecting an extra tube of blood on a guy who already has multiple IVs and multiple samples drawn, with a cop in my face? frick that hospital.

Or the hospital has an obligation to protect the patient's privacy and well being more than they're protecting you and your delicate feelings about your workplace.

No offense but you sound like a shitty nurse.

I watched a DPS officer "compel" a sample from a DUI suspect with hammer fists and a choke hold. Lol. We were all thinking "this is fricked up" but I'm not gonna tell a pissed off cop how to do his job. It probably won't end well. You can be right in handcuffs or you can be slightly suspect and go about your shift. Easy choice for me. Especially when we are talking about a possible/probable drunk.

For someone who claims to not be defending the shitty cops here, you sure are one hell of an apologist and bootlicker for them.
