Video Of Dallas Regional Medical Center Allegedly Delaying Care For Black Mother During Labor Goes Viral

A Black mother has gone to social media to express her outrage about her daughter allegedly facing discrimination while she was in labor at Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, Texas.

The frustrated mother, Kash (who goes by kashman2814 on TikTok), posted a video of her daughter, Karrie Jones, screaming in agony while waiting to be admitted to the hospital.

The Texas mom was in visible pain while waiting to be admitted at Dallas Regional Medical Center

The video she posted to TikTok shows Jones sitting in a wheelchair and fighting serious pain while a nurse sits in front of a computer nearby and asks a barrage of questions to collect the woman’s medical information. The nurse asks a series of questions about how many times Jones has been pregnant, how many kids she has, who her doctor is, and her due date.

She can also be heard in the background of the video while recording the exchange between the nurse and her daughter.

“Y’all treat all your patients like this or just the Black ones?” she said as the nurse continued to enter the information on the computer.

As the nurse appeared to forget Karrie’s due date at one point, Jones and her mother became upset and yelled out the due date. Jones forces herself to stand up from the wheelchair before the video ends and continues to painfully scream.

 “Are y’all for real right now? Does she have to give birth in a chair?” she said in the video.

The nurse then told Jones’ mother that she “can’t take her upstairs.” She continued to fight for daughter, asking why the staff would “take a chance of infections and her having a baby in this chair.”

In her post on TikTok, Kash said that Jones’s “son was born 12 minutes later.”

“This woman had her in the waiting area more than 30 minutes,” she added. “The delivery was awful.”
