Nurse arrested for refusing to draw unconscious man's blood

A Utah nurse screamed “help me” after a cop handcuffed her for refusing to draw blood on an unconscious patient July 26, police body camera footage showed.

The video showed University of Utah Hospital nurse Alex Wubbels, an Alpine skier who participated in the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympic games, calmly explaining to Salt Lake Detective Jeff Payne that she could not draw blood from a patient who had been injured in a car accident, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

Wubbels told Payne the patient was required to give consent for a blood sample or be under arrest. Otherwise, she said police needed a warrant. Payne threatened to imprison Wubbels if he was not given the blood sample, according to the video.

“I either go away with blood in vials or body in tow,” Payne is shown saying.

Wubbels, who was on the phone with her supervisor, explained the situation to the supervisor, who agreed with the nurse and reportedly told the cop, “sir, you’re making a huge mistake because you’re threatening a nurse.”

Upon hearing that, Payne announced Wubbels was under arrest and physically moved her outside the hospital while she screamed.

Wubbels yelled, “Help! Stop! I did nothing wrong!” while being handcuffed.

Payne was attempting to get a blood sample from a patient who was burned after being involved in a head-on crash with a pick-up truck driver that was fleeing police, the Washington Post reported. The driver died in the incident.

Wubbels was not charged and police have started an internal investigation. Payne initially remained on duty although he was suspended from blood-draw duties. Later on Friday Utah police announced that he had been put on paid administrative leave.

Police Chief Mike Brown said in a statement that his department will comply with the investigation into Payne. Salt Lake County's Unified Police Department will run the criminal probe into Payne's actions. Brown and the mayor of Salt Lake City have apologized for the incident and changed their policies to mirror hospital protocols.

Christina Judd, a spokesperson for the Salt Lake City Police, said the department was alarmed by what they witnessed in the video.

Judd said the department was working to investigate what went wrong and is seeking to repair the “unfortunate rift” it has caused.

Wubbels said she had been told of other hospital employees being harassed by officers and this footage proved their claim. She has not pressed charges yet but would consider it if police did not change their ways.

“I can’t sit on this video and not attempt to speak out both to re-educate and inform,” Wubbels told The Salt Lake Tribune. Police departments “need to be having conversations about what is appropriate intervention.”

The hospital supported Wubbels actions and said it would consider pressing charges.

"University of Utah Health supports Nurse Wubbles and her decision to focus first and foremost on the care and well-being of her patient,” said Suzanne Winchester, the hospital's media relations manager. “She followed procedures and protocols in this matter and was acting in her patient’s best interest. We have worked with our law enforcement partners on this issue to ensure an appropriate process for moving forward.”


Poster Comment:

I was unclear if the cop was expecting the nurse or staff to make the blood draw and they were refusing, or if the cop wanted to draw it himself and the staff was preventing him from doing so.

This article clearly states the cop was expecting the staff to do it, in which case the nurse was arrested for refusing to do something the cop wanted.

It seems the nurse, so far, is being nice in not suing the cop & department. That's characteristic of a true public servant.

The cop was trained in drawing blood. The nurse was trying to prevent him from doing so. She was wrong. The cop was right.

BUT, in order to maintain a good relationship between the police and the hospital, the police have to pretend it was their fault.

Put me in charge and she'd be sitting in jail waiting for her trial of obstruction and resisting arrest. While she's sitting there she'll have time to become familiar with Utah state law which clearly says that a person gives their implied consent to a blood draw when they acquire a driver's license.

Nope, on hospital property, with the patient in hospital custody. The cop has no right to do any blood drawing there without a warrant.

Nor does the cop have the power to command a civilian to do something unconstitutional.

The cop and the police department will lose this.

You are not in charge, and nobody will ever put you in charge, because the way you think is German, not American.

Not in the State of Utah. No warrant required. This is what -- the 10th time I've cited that? I even gave you a link to the actual law. What's wrong with you?

The Constitution supersedes what you have said, and the police know it too, which is why they are bending over backwards here, and why the cop will be disciplined.

You're used to the law twisting all around to support the cops. But medicine is higher up the totem pole of power than the police. Doctors are upper class. Cops are working class. Cops get to tell the average schlub on the street what to do, but start manhandling the intelligentsia, and the superior power of the political system crushed cops down and teaches them their place.

That is what is happening here. Cops bow to doctors, as is right and just.

That's how it seems to work.

OTOH, an EMT can get shoved around by a cop. And there is some recurring rivalry between firemen and cops, like at an accident scene where the fire department is present and may be trying to use a Jaws of Life or put out a fire. There was a case like that a few years back in CA where the CHiPs assaulted some firemen on a freeway at an accident scene. There were a number of firetrucks at the scene, blocking oncoming lanes of traffic. The cops wanted to re-open lanes and ordered the firemen out but one fireman was a EMT or paramedic and refused to leave his patient and the cops got uppity. The leadership of CHiPs and the fire chief had a lot of backpedaling to do to make peace over it.

But the cops never screw with hospitals. At least I've never heard of it.

However, those rules do change somewhat if a suspect is under arrest when he is admitted to a hospital.

The hospitals are the medical professionals' turf. The street is the cops' turf.
