Short Summary

- Roadside Delivery: Eight minutes after leaving, her husband, Leon, delivered their baby on the side of the road while on a 911 call that offered no guidance.

If this was a black nurse doing this to a white pregnant patient, some people would probably question that nurse's qualifications or blame DEI.
U can’t have people in these professions who has no regard for life!!
Justice for pregnant Black women and their families.🖤⚖️🖤💪🏼🖤⚖️🖤
THAT IS INHUMANE 😢
Also thank God for her husband 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please get the security who wheeled her out too!!
The real question is how many times did they get away with this before???
Wtf this is crazy, they always treating us like trash, its messed up.
😡 These women need to sue these hospitals _into the ground_ for their medical malpractice!
Recently, a woman in FULL LABOR at Dallas Regional Medical Hospital ~ Dallas, TX., sat more than 30 minutes in an emergency room instead of havjng been taken DIRECTLY to the labor & delivery unit. All the while, she was repeatedly asked dumb questions by a nonchalant, heartless, so-called nurse while screaming in agonizing PAIN. The baby was born TWELVE MINUTES LATER. I hope this "nurse" was terminated from her job! I also hope this lady (THE PATIENT) sues the hospital for millions. I pray mom & baby are doing well.
