A nurse at Illinois Masonic has filed a lawsuit against a police officer and the city of Chicago claiming the officer arrested her when she didn't collect a blood sample from a suspected drunken driver, according to Chicago Breaking News. The lawsuit states a city police officer named Rodriguez asked Lisa Hofstra, the head nurse in charge of the emergency room the morning of August 1st, to take a blood sample from a man to determine his blood-alcohol level. Apparently Hofstra asked Rodriguez to wait until she could consult with her supervisor because it was against hospital protocol to take a blood sample from someone who was not admitted as a patient. Before the supervisor could respond, the officer cuffed Hofstra and put her in the back of a squad car for about 45 minutes before she was released from custody. more ›
