MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minneapolis doctor has been arrested after refusing to draw blood from a homicide suspect without his consent.
Police accuse the doctor of impeding their investigation. But a spokesman at Hennepin County Medical Center says the doctor was following the hospital's policy of not doing "intrusive procedures" without the patient's consent.
Police eventually obtained a court order and had another doctor draw blood -- five hours after the suspect arrived at the hospital.
