Most coverage of Selma Blair's arrest is about what happened on the plane. Far fewer people are talking about the nurse.

After she was taken into custody at JFK, the actress allegedly assaulted a nurse at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, a law enforcement source told CBS New York.

Court records show she faces two felony counts of second-degree assault. Her representative says a medical emergency led to the alleged conduct.

If you were assaulted at work, would you press charges? Why or why not?

Article updated 10/13: Blair pleaded not guilty to both counts at her arraignment Monday.

Oh our Emergency Room nurses…

Simply a different breed. So often standing at the entry gates to what is the modern day healthcare system. Understaffed, overworked, and taking the brunt of the moral, emotional, and physical beatings.

We see you. We love you. And we will always have your back.

Happy Emergency Room nurses week from all of us at The Station 10 Foundation. Stay smart. Stay aware. And stay safe!

Huge thank you to the Raytown Police Fund for having us out again for their annual golf tournament!

Another great turnout!

We appreciate all of these opportunities to come out and share the stories of so many healthcare workers not only locally but across the country who experience violence on a daily basis.

Only together can we begin to tackle this problem.

Newly released surveillance video shows a patient chasing and striking workers in the Jackson Memorial Hospital emergency room on May 30, then repeatedly punching nurse Yanira Eguileor and knocking her to the floor before staff pulled him away.

⚖️ The lawsuit
Eguileor, a career trauma nurse, is suing Jackson Memorial and Miami-Dade County for $5 million, alleging inadequate security. Her attorney, Michael Pizzi, says the public is only seeing the footage because he filed a second lawsuit to force its release, and a judge ordered the hospital to turn it over.

Eguileor says she stepped in when the patient, identified in reports as 44-year-old Wenyou Rubin, was about to strike a colleague. "It was a total of three bashes to the head," she told WSVN. Pizzi says she was left semi-unconscious with injuries to her head, neck, spine, and back that required CT scans.

🏥 The hospital's response
Jackson Health System says four public safety specialists are assigned to the ER around the clock and that its first officer reached the scene within seconds. Responding to a whistleblower claim, the hospital alleges it discovered unauthorized access to protected health information by Eguileor. Neither side's account has been tested in court.

📊 The bigger picture
In Nurse.org's 2026 State of Nursing survey of 2,090 nurses, 27% said they were physically assaulted at work in the past year, including more than half of ER nurses. Yet only 54% who experienced an incident formally reported it.

What would meaningful protection actually look like on your unit?

Absolutely unacceptable. Good for the nurse for standing up for herself and demanding change.

Today we pause to remember to remember the thousands of lives lost twenty five years ago today in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon.

Such senseless acts that cost the lives of not only thousands of American citizens but hundreds of first responders who answered their final call.

We also show appreciation to the countless rescue workers in the days, weeks, and months after who spent less countless hours searching for survivors and trying to pick up the pieces of one of our darkest days. Including one of our own board members Chad Dailey, who along with several other outstanding KCFD members, made the journey to ground zero to sacrifice for and serve their fellow citizens.

May we never forget what happened to us, but may we also never forget the way we were all brothers and sisters in the days following.
