After several minutes, Wubbels shows Payne and the other officer a printout of the hospital’s policy on obtaining blood samples from patients. “So I’m just trying to do what I’m supposed to do, that’s all.”“So I take it without those in place, I’m not going to get blood,” Payne says. “A blood draw, it just gets thrown around like it’s some simple thing,” she said, according to the Deseret News.
