A Utah nurse who was dragged out of a hospital and handcuffed by police after refusing their request to draw blood from an unconscious patient said she "was scared to death" and feels "betrayed" following the incident.

In an interview with CNN, Alex Wubbels, a nurse at the University of Utah Medical Center, said she did what she thought was right when refusing a police officer's request to draw blood from a patient who had been injured in a car accident.
