While She Was in Labor, the Hospital Put Her in Zoom Court
Cherise Doyley, a mother of three, was in labor at a Florida hospital when a nurse brought her a tablet. On the screen were a judge and several lawyers, doctors and hospital staff. Doyley wanted to have a vaginal birth. They wanted to force her to undergo a cesarean section.
Doyley, a professional doula, had had three prior C-sections — including one that resulted in a hemorrhage. She hoped to avoid another serious complication and lengthy recovery.
In labor and in a Zoom court hearing, Doyley had no lawyer or advocate and no one to explain to her what was going on. After three hours of testimony, the judge ruled that she could keep trying for a vaginal birth unless there was an emergency.
Overnight, doctors wheeled her into surgery. The baby was delivered by C-section.
ProPublica reporter Amy Yurkanin obtained a video recording of Doyley’s court hearing. Watch Doyley undergo this legal ordeal and argue for her own medical choices from a hospital bed.
