[QUOTE="JD8, post: 3029505, member: 24"] Again.... there's a gross amount of ignorance on your part pertaining to the duties of healthcare providers and what's expected of them. Now before you get all huffy, that's just what your posting has reflected and it just seems you just keep doubling down and yes...... I say so. Either way what SMS is saying is well known among healthcare providers, it's no secret. Her choices were.. 1. Draw the Blood under his orders. She knew this to be illegal, compromised policy between the hospital and the dept, compromised her duties to protect her patient, and she would at the VERY least be subpoenaed if not subjected to worse punishment or repercussions. 2. Let him Draw the blood. See above. 3. Refuse to let him draw the blood and refuse to draw it herself. Knowing full well that this was expected of her by the law, the patient and the hospital. Now for some reason you say she should've expected to be arrested for having the integrity to do nothing other than protect a badly burned man in an ICU. You said, she "decided to be a defender of rights" in which apparently unbeknownst to you, ALL nurses sign up to protect and care for patients, especially when they can't. [/QUOTE]
