Who has greater power, the police or the nurses #shorts #movie

As has been mentioned, the same thing happened IRL. In 2017 a pickup truck and a semi were involved in a head-on collision. The driver of the pickup was DOA at the scene but the driver of the semi was alive, albeit severely injured and comatose. The hospital policy for blood draws required either: 1. the Patient be under arrest when they were brought in; 2. the Police have a warrant for the blood; or 3. the Patient provides consent. None of the three were true so the nurse refused to draw blood for the Police. Officers demanded it repeatedly, despite repeated refusals and being informed by hospital administrators that they would not get the blood. The nurse was arrested for obstruction of justice. She was released without charges and sued the city, settling for 500,000 dollars. In addition, the arresting officer was fired and the watch commander in charge during that shift was demoted two ranks. In addition, the department changed their policies to require a warrant or consent before blood draws could be performed. The incident also resulted in Utah passing a law that mandated either informed consent or a warrant before police could take blood draws.

I mean policy shouldn't outrank the law 😂😂

Anyone who is against the police? Do you wanna tell the family he killed?

Everyone in the nurses side because shes the underdog but the "victim" hit a house with a family inside while under the influence. I get doctors cant just delay care but are we really hating on the police cuz they were trying to put a criminal, a criminal who had just hurt a group if innocents due to VERY poor decision making, in jail? I really think people need to remember nuance when they watch clips like this.

"im FINEEE👹👹👹

With the patient going into surgery , wouldn't they test his blood to check and see if he had anything in his system that would react to anesthesia ?

I don't want to hear a thing about DUI responsibility after what he did to Severide.

Based on a true story. The arrested nurse got 500k settlement.

Dam that maggie actress os beautiful

.10 sec to take blood this is stupid.. took longer to have an arument. So when he kills people its on the hospital then right?

Nurses

So the family gets no justice, because of complications in the system. Wow.

Patients before anything

Virtually all patients that walk in the door of an emergency department have their blood drawn, especially traumas. If law enforcement wanted to test the patients BAC, all they needed to do was send a letter of preservation of biological specimens, which takes minutes to do.

Also, in the state of Illinois, you consent to have your blood tested for alcohol if it’s during the investigation of a motor vehicle accident when you sign your license.

Tuff Puff thinks - therefore their wright....
NOT!!!
Law Enforcement, not little "know-it-all" Gauds, not a Judge - Jury - & executioner
Jump off your pedestal & back up here in reality

In the hospital the nurses have the power.

Too fucking bad life comes before police shit

I remember this happening for real. That “law enforcement officer” was a real P.O.S. low-IQ pig. The nurse in real life made something like $500K.

Policy does not trump law.

In the show did the family he hit get any kind of justice ?

They could easily draw blood they were just trying to be difficult

WA is a no consant

Witnessed this first hand, twice one where the victims family watches the DUI guy go with nothing. The second the hospital fought even with a search warrant present. Policy don't trump law. It's always about the person on the gurney not the person they hurt. That is the new fight where I live, are the EMTs and doctors contaminating blood when all they have to do is draw blood a few seconds before the IV or pain killers, hold the blood until a search warrant is available or needed?

Bullshit

futuo tyrannus

I'm with the nurse on this one. The cop should have taken care of all of that before the ambulance got there.

Government always go against each other.they can never work together to ease their responsibilities.why???? BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THEIR OWN AGENCY IS MORE POWERFUL OR EFFICIENT THAN THE OTHERS.if we dont work as 1 then we are not a team player.govenrment will collapse with regret to the heads.

So isn't getting to thr truth more important if they were drunk driving isn't that worth finding out or they will do it again and again?

Yep, this actually happened. The cops were overstepping power tripping assholes then, too.

Trauma patient would have his blood drawn anyway and one of them would be a  lithium heparin tube. So hospital policy is retarded.

He’s not talking to he’s talking to your friend

Police need a refresher course on just how far their authority reaches and exactly where and when.

It doesn't matter Hospital policy comes first

If IV fluids would affect the accuracy of the blood draw it was already too late as soon as the IV was in. Why did that officer wait until they were moving him to an OR to realize she needed that blood draw “right effing now!”?

Once you’re in a hospital the life of the injured takes priority.

Cops aren't there to protect lives. Only themselves.

Her obstructing legitimate medical care is a felony. The cop should be the one under arrest.

His property. You cant take anything you wsnt and no hospital is risking a lawsuit for a cop

In this case the officer can be arrested, since the doctor is in the right.

Blacks don’t like blacks 😂😂

If the patient had died, due to the delay, the police officer could have been facing manslaughter charges.

Doesn't state law trump company/hospital policy?

The actor suck

Policy does not out trump law

If drunk he cant give consent

And the real life incident didn’t end like that. The cop was fired and the nurse paid big time. Cops cannot arrest any medical professional for refusing to break HIPAA law.

Remember. The cops don’t give a fuck about you. They are more interested in arrests and cases. Even though this is a show. They portray the cops accurately.

Um, hospital policy doesnt work like that

They must get a warrant. Viot tried to get a fireman framed and sent to prison because his kid drove drunk. And fireman was a witness
