Is that legal to order blood and urine tests if a person was not driving and without their consent?

I was recently booked and released after being taken to the ER for trauma to the brain after being in a fight. I am a 34 year old female 125 lbs. 5’8″ and was assaulted by a male in his mid-to-late 30’s and a woman, also 34 and 160 lbs. The event occurred on my property after asking them to leave multiple times. I thought assault was a verbal threat and battery. I was arrested because he said we believe it’s better to only take 1 party to jail and it’s based on the officer’s discretion and he figured I could have stopped it, so he took me. He ordered a blood and urine test without asking my consent. I wasn’t driving. I heard him whispering to the nurse about it. Seems fishy.
