(WEST BEND) – In November 2022, Nurse Dobyns-Schuetter, Nurse Sutherland, and Washington County Jail staff were presented with a patient in need of immediate medical assistance. While we cannot provide more details due to federal patient privacy and confidentiality laws, we can tell you that this team did not freeze.
