4Nurse Drives to Work with Extremely High BAC, Avoids Stroke Treatment
Candace Van Wardenberg, a nurse, struck a parked vehicle on her way to work and was admitted to the hospital as a patient, initially suspected of having a stroke. She admitted to drinking 'Trulies' to sleep and a blood test revealed a shocking .416 BAC, over five times the legal driving limit. This high BAC explained her symptoms, negating the need for stroke treatment. She was arrested for OWI and leaving the scene, later pleading guilty.

Lessons
- Always comply with law enforcement and hospital staff directives, even if you disagree, to avoid escalating situations and additional charges.
- Understand the severe legal and personal consequences of driving under the influence, especially for professionals in critical roles.
- Seek appropriate mental health support rather than misusing emergency services, which can lead to legal issues and divert critical resources.
- Be aware that hospitals are private property and refusal to leave when asked can result in criminal trespassing charges.
