EXCLUSIVE: Candace Owens, 32, says Tennessee hospital threatened to call CHILD SERVICES and stopped her from leaving until her newborn underwent 'unnecessary' blood test - as she accuses 'hospital mafia' of inflating her insurance bill
UK Daily Mail ^ | 09/10/2022 | Alex Hammer

Conservative analyst and author Candace Owens claims staff at a Tennessee hospital attempted to hold her and her newborn daughter hostage after she gave birth earlier this summer - telling her she was not allowed to leave until they drew blood from the hours-old, perfectly healthy child.

Speaking exclusively with DailyMail.com, the 32-year-old slammed staff at Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville, while recounting the '24 hours of torture' she says she suffered after giving birth to her second child Louise on July 13.

The mother-of-two, who launches the new DailyWire+ podcast, Candace, on Monday, said the alleged mistreatment started after she declined antibiotics and contraction-inducing drugs while going into labor. She added that it culminated in staffers threatening to call child services on the right-wing commentator.

Owens - who married British Oxford grad George Farmer in 2019 - further accused staffers of engaging in a concerted effort to empty her wallet, by keeping her for over 48 hours so her stay was not covered by insurance.

When she refused, Owens says that a hospital pediatrician approached her and her husband as they tried to leave, callously telling the couple 'that she watched a baby die in the 47th hour because her parents refused to stay.'

The pair ignored the staffer, Owens says - despite the workers' false assertions that her insurance would likely not cover the visit if she went against medical advice and left.

When Owens responded that she didn't care, a social worker employed by the hospital asked the couple to sign a document that said they were aware that The Department of Children's Services (DCS) could pay them a visit for leaving against doctor's orders, according to Owens.

I’m sure these medical schizos knew Ms. Owens’ politics. They took it out on her. JMO.

So, fellow dangerous, Democracy-destroying (sarc) MAGA Republicans: stay healthy. Lift weights. Take your vitamin C and D. Eat well. That way, you can stay out of the hospital.

If you want to really get sick, just go to the hospital.

When I had one of mine I was out of there so fast it would curl your hair. No epidural no nothing. Outta there next day.

They (our horrible medical industry) try to make delivery a medical emergency. It is not. It is the most natural thing in the world. You deliver in a hospital to be close to the neonatal unit and an OB doc in case anything tears, your bp goes up or the baby gets stuck

The mother thanklessly does the rest

US medicine don’t even know how to help the process. It’s fluorescent lights, yelling, pushing and threats. Contraction meds probes

So stupid. What animal wild or tame looks for lights, a crowd, noise?

None. A cat goes under the house, under a bed, into a closet middle of the night.

Us medicine pays no attention. Get in here we’re going to stop the birthing process with brightness, crowds and scolding. Complete takeover then shoot up a lot of meds then stab you in the back and numb you so the only way out for the kid is contraction meds

Outta there so fast

Thank you for the precise explanation

Candace tried to make it sound like hospital staff purposefully singled her out because of her stance on Covid

I don’t believe most of what she describes as factual

Many folks say my wife and I were nuts.....We had both of our kids in a Doc's office..with a nurse if needed...

Hosp. near by..if we needed to go.

We thought about it.,.prayed about it...and realized millions of kids were born like this....

I was right there...and the Doc was right there...Both girls were home within 4 hrs.

When health insurance became a govt enforced retainer for health services, the quality of the health industry suffered tremendously, and likewise the costs went through the roof. And in recent years, we’ve seen the lockstep application of govt dictated health protocols which of course were rewarded through taxpayer-funded incentives.

Most pediatricians and children’s hospitals are leftist thugs.

If she doesn’t have any SYMPTOMS, she does not have Group B strep. This is absurd. You have a lot of nerve attacking her after all the “expert” lies of the past 2.5 years.

“... If she tested positive for Group B Strep”

Can she or the baby test positive for a source of sepsis if tgey don’t have sepsis? No temps? No weakness?

48 hours is a long time after childbirth if she felt good enough to go home. There’s no mention of the child being symptomatic. If that were the case then she’d have been silly but this is an intelligent woman. I’d bet she wouldn’t bring a hot weak baby home I’m sure she spoke w the pediatrician

How do you know that she went into premature labor and wasn’t able to ‘choose’ where she gave birth?

You can blame the covid vax for distrust in medical professionals. Putting ego aside, it's pretty hard to claim the vaxes have been anything but a disaster. Unfortunately, too many people have such huge egos that they can't put it aside.

I do data analytics for a living. The data is clear. The vaccines are killing people and provide little to no benefit for younger people. Until the medical community can accept and acknowledge the facts honestly, trust is not deserved. I don't go to doctors that can't do basic research.

She should have stuck around for the “consultations” from the other cult, the Lactation Nazis.
