Emergency room at a large hospital in Jeonnam.

The nurse is holding the syringe as if trying to draw blood from the femoral artery of the lying patient.

The doctor leaves with a nurse, and another doctor turns when he hears that'the doctor confirmed'.

Another nurse trying to collect arteries, the doctor is not even seen in this video.

Both nurses in the image appear to be doing an'arterial blood gas test' to check the patient's respiratory function.

Arterial blood collection is known to be done only by doctors because, unlike veins, blood vessels can become necrotic if they go wrong.

[Health and medical union officials: Arterial blood directly, most hospitals do it by doctors, and as far as we know, 000 hospitals collect blood from venous blood as doctors do.]

Medical law is the work of nurses and doctors Although not specifically defined, the Supreme Court ruled that doctors must perform medical activities that require a high degree of knowledge and skills.

At that time, an official at this hospital asked the Ministry of Health and Welfare who the arterial blood gas test was and said that the doctor should do it when considering the risk to the patient.

However, Mr. A, who worked in the emergency room, says a nurse or an emergency rescuer also took arteries.

[I heard that it has been practiced since ancient times, and in a year, I have done thousands of tasks that doctors have to do.]

The hospital did not respond to the report, saying it could not reveal its position because it is a police investigation.
