At Inland the police usually would wait until the initial medical care by the ER team was done, and wait until the x-rays and labs were over. Not once while I worked there did I ever see the police order any medical staff around like on that video. I think most ERs and local law enforcement work together pretty well.
The person who does the blood draw for the authorities works for the police department here in Riverside County and they usually take 30 minutes or so to show up. It has to be a designated individual not just anyone. When I would see them drawing blood I would think well I am having a bad day at work but nothing like the person lying on gurney about to be hit with a huge legal bill and maybe prison. X-raying drunk people is not very fun but it is better when they are completely zonked than when they are abusive to staff.
