Following the arrest of a nurse after she refused to break the law and violate the rights of a patient, police are now being reprimanded by the hospital. Cops are no longer allowed to interact with nurses at the Utah hospital where the unprecedented incident took place.
Footage of the incident, in which University Hospital nurse Alex Wubbels was placed under arrest by Officer Jeff Payne for refusing to draw the blood of an unconscious patient who had been in a car accident, went viral last week. The nurse’s July 26 arrest was captured on a police body-cam video and has prompted apologies from both Salt Lake City’s mayor and the police. Wubbels’ arrest was also the driving force behind the suspension of officer Jeff Payne from the police department.
