Video: Utah Police Arrest Nurse for Refusing to Draw Blood from Unconscious Patient
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, shocking police body camera video has
surfaced of police arresting a nurse in Utah for refusing an officer's
demand that she draw a blood sample from an unconscious car crash
patient. The police attacked nurse Alex Wubbels, arrested her and forced
her out of the hospital and into an unmarked car on July 26. After the
footage surfaced last Thursday, the hospital says police will no longer
be permitted in patient care areas, such as the burn unit where Wubbels
was working that day.
