A shocking incident at Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, Texas, has led to severe backlash against an intake nurse. Kiara Jones, a woman in active labor, was allegedly made to wait in a wheelchair for over 30 minutes before being admitted for delivery. Her mother shared videos documenting Jones's visible agony and distress during the prolonged wait, describing the nurse's attitude as unconcerned.
The delay left Jones feeling mentally exhausted and traumatized, especially as her son was born just 12 minutes after she was finally moved to a delivery room. The concerned grandmother stated that both mother and baby experienced significant stress, with the infant born with his eyes open, prompting further medical evaluations for both.
Dallas Regional Medical Center has stated that patient safety and well-being are top priorities and that they are reviewing the situation. However, due to patient privacy laws, no further details can be shared at this time. The incident has raised concerns about the quality of care provided during critical moments.
