July 31 2017, guy fleeing police crosses median and slams into truck and dies. The truck catches fire severely burning the innocent driver, Mr. Gray, who was taken to SLC University. Police later showed up demanding to the UNCONSCIOUS innocent patient's blood. RN Alex shows them the policy requiring consent, arrest, or a warrant. Hospital administration back up RN Alex.
Police aggressively arrest RN Alex and removes her from the hospital. Officer body cam insanity released today:
In this video, the aggressive officer can be heard saying that he will ensure all the "transients" are brought to this hospitals ED since they won't cooperate after being told the administrators and privacy officer are on their way.
Original Crash (graphic):
Interesting note about Alex, she was a 2x Olympian, US Ski Team member, and national champion is Slalom and GS.
Wait until you lose an immediate family member who was an LEO to on-the-job gun violence before you tell me I'm overreacting. The statement was an extremely insensitive thing to say about the people who risk their lives on a daily basis to make sure you stay safe.

I do not believe 'LadyMossberg' is an actual nurse or he/she would know it is spelled HIPAA and it is over-the-top absurd, I suspect this is a troll...
