Note: corrections to my initial report (thank you Z-Pac members on the scene for helping with our facts): this event occurred at the end of July but the footage was only released at the end of August, so the blood draw was proximal to the patient’s accident/injury. Also, according to someone on the scene, the event occurred in the emergency department, not the burn unit.
