This is correct, as long as the refusal to treat doesn't breach other regulations, like Civil Rights legislation, so on. This certainly wouldn't qualify as emergency treatment.

holy crap, i might totally starting calling my cruiser Bruce.

If you're a "health law and policy expert", and can't discern between the legal right to refuse medical care to someone being pushed through an illegal search and the legal right to refuse a patient emergency medical care, then I hope you have little influence over the creation of actual health care policy.

"Wait, you are saying that in Texas they issue warrants that state that any medical professional that the police choose is legally obligated to perform a blood draw on the suspect?"

I know, right? No other websites should be allowed to report something if it's appeared on reddit.

You are aware that Reddit pulled that story from somewhere as well? You understand how the internet works and that the New Mexico field office of Reddit doesn't exist?

Everyone stop talking about anything that has been posted on Reddit. Reddit is the king of the internet and if it's posted there, it should never appear anywhere else ever again.

Doctors refusing to carry out a procedure they deem unethical is not "obstruction of justice". Are you a lawyer or a law enforcement officer? I sincerely hope not. It is not a doctor's job to aid the police in enforcing the terms of a warrant. It's up to the police to find medical personnel who are voluntarily…

Not every person reads reddit every fucking day. By your logic, Reddit is simply ripping their stuff off of whatever web sites the people on Reddit link to. In summary: shut the fuck up and go back to r/*wanking motion in your face*

In Michigan, it's the law to come to a complete stop when exiting private property, and entering a public road, regardless of the presence of a stop sign.

i'm getting tired of seeing this shit on every fucking article. not everyone on the internet knows about your seedy ass rss feeds, shut the fuck up and deal with it or move on.

I'd love to be able to do this in the future. Find an old 'Cruiser barely or not running and put the money you would have spent on a better one into fixing it and running it forever.

Paging Gloria Allred ...... As soon as you realize Coma McStuntazz is a waste of time please report to New Mexico.

I'm pulling out the Volvo here.

Is Jettadiah Australian?

Ok, come on. It was Frank Deford, who has devolved into a less-coherent and less-interesting Abe Simpson. A few decades ago I'm sure his writing was terrific, but now his rants are along the lines of, "these whippersnappers and their 'statistics' and 'analysis' don't know the true spirit of Christmas and baseball and…

I had a 2010 Jetta Sportwagen TDI. "Something" in the fuel system exploded, sending shrapnel through the system from the fuel tank to the engine. They replaced the entire fuel system (under warranty, if not it would have been about $9-10k worth of work). I asked how it happened, what exploded and what if anything I…

I'd like to see hard numbers on their reliability instead of anecdotes. For me: I don't find it useful to paint with a brand-wide brush. Some cars in a given brand's lineup will be worse than others, and will drive the hard numbers down. On average, Jettas (I actually have one of those 2001 models that everyone on the…

I totally agree, and many of these issues seem to continue regarding the electrical gremlins in newer VWs. Make them right, warrant them and we may come back.

I agree on the reliability argument. My family members have owned two VW's (New Beetles, 1 coupe, 1 convertible) and an Audi A4 2.8 Quattro. All three cars had poor reliability from the start, with the Audi spending almost three months out of its first year at the dealership getting warranty engine…
