'A family in New Jersey is accusing a health care worker of assaulting their elderly father while he drew their father\'s blood. The incident happened in August at a long term care facility in Union City and was captured by surveillance video. That video shows a phlebotomist, Rafael Manchego, drawing Benjamin Mejias\' blood while he laid in his nursing home bed.
