Alex Wubbels Biography

Alex Wubbels is one of the most popular and richest Alpine Skier who was born on January 23, 1976 in Aspen, United States. In June 2014 Shaffer married fellow skier, Cory Wubbels. He is a former All-American Nordic skier who competed for Northern Michigan University and is a guitar player, carpenter and master ski technician. They had their first child in December 2014.

On July 26, 2017, she was unlawfully arrested for “obstructing justice” while on duty as a nurse at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. The incident was later made public via the officers’ body cameras. The arresting officer, a Salt Lake City Police Department detective, demanded that blood be drawn from an unconscious patient, but Wubbels stated that doing so would be a violation of hospital policy, which required that the patient be under arrest, or had given consent, or that the police were in possession of a warrant. The patient was the victim in a car crash and was not under arrest, but was unconscious and therefore unable to consent, and the police had not obtained a warrant. She followed hospital policy and refused to allow the officer to draw blood, and the arresting officers proceeded to forcibly put her in handcuffs and into the front passenger seat of their cruiser. The year-old hospital policy related to blood draws reflects the legal position in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as well as the Supreme Court of the United States’ ruling in Birchfield v. North Dakota and had been agreed to by the police department.

In July 2017, she was involved in an incident during which she prevented police from unlawfully obtaining blood from an unconscious patient in her care.

According to Wubbels, a sports psychologist encouraged her to go into nursing after matching her personality with the profession. Wubbels began working as a nurse at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City in 2009.

Competing in the Alpine skiing events at the 1998 Winter Olympics held in Nagano, Japan, Alex Shaffer finished 9th in the Women’s Combined and did not finish in the Women’s Giant Slalom. She also competed in the Alpine Skiing events at the 2002 Winter Olympics held in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she finished 28th in the Women’s Giant Slalom.

Wubbels was later released without charge. The arresting officer was fired on October 10, and his supervisor was demoted two ranks from Lieutenant to Officer. On October 31, 2017, Wubbels and her attorney announced that Salt Lake City and the University of Utah had agreed to settle the incident for $500,000. She said that part of her settlement will go toward efforts geared to making body cam footage more accessible to the public. The incident was one of the reasons Medscape put Wubbels on its list of the “best” physicians in 2017.
