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.

Wrong. every pregnant woman receiving medical care gets a grouo b strep culture in the third trimester precisely because it is asymptomatic and very dangerous to the baby
A victim is one who lays down and takes the abuse, she is not a victim because she fought for her right to choose treatment and whether protocol fit her timeline.
Your medical knowledge is seriously lacking. Don’t bother to reply with your usual grace and charm
A similar situation happened to someone I know, and it had nothing to do with strep or any other affliction. People think doctors and nurses can’t be malicious? Prejudiced? Exerting undue power because they can?
They can. It happens.
Will never give again to pediaNazis and Mengele -transgender pushers.
The prenatal screen for group B strep refers to vaginal colonization with the bacteria. You can indeed be colonized and not have symptoms. I was group B strep positive with my 3rd pregnancy and got the antibiotics..to prevent newborn sepsis. He’s 19 now and serving his country.
I know I do not trust doctors or nurses writ large. They have no issue murdering you or I and think that they are doing the world a favor. These people murder babies.
Appeal to authority is killing this country.
...... uh...
Stop waving, start drowning.
Look it up. If mom test positive ( and many do not have symptoms) she can pass it on to her baby. And, in some cases, baby can develop symptoms much later.
I am betting she was refusing a PKU test on the baby , which shows how uninformed Candace Owens is.
We all think parents should not do gender transitions on their children, and government should make laws preventing that. But we also need to protect babies ( via CPS) when parents refuse tests that can have life altering effects on their children. And I may be wrong, but it is a governmental rule in some states to have PKU tests done in the hospital.
Blood tests are done at the time of birth not on day of going home. I call BS on the hospital
Vaxxes served a purpose in the at risk population with the original and delta variants. I believed they saved lives in those categories. I have long said they make no sense in the under 30 and low risk population and they make no sense with the current variant. Unfortunately on this site critical thought is not allowed. You either believe the vax is of satan, makes u magnetic and all the other craziness or you are of satan and in the pocket of deep state, big pharma or fill in the blank. As usual the answer lies somewhere in the middle.
To be anti-Covid-vaccine nowadays is an All or nothing venture.
All medical treatment is iffy or unnecessary.
All medical personnel are against you.
All medical care that fails to follow the Twitter School of Medicine protocol is suspicious.
As if there are no God Loving God Fearing Conservatives among medical professionals.
Exactly correct, my son and daughter had two children recently, and refused even the Vitamin K shot, Hep B vaccination, and all other vaccinations until they see a need.
It is no wonder there are so many medical and mental problems with children, including Autism. YEAH, it IS the most probable cause.
This is about every newborn being entered in a DNA database.
i suspect they wanted a cbc to look for early signs of sepsis although I cannot know for sure. That is the test I would have ordered
>> I get it that people here hate doctors
I understand what you’re driving at, but that assertion is simply not true.
Regarding the article, the reported circumstances surrounding the “right wing commentator’s” stay warrant additional info. And that’s not to challenge the veracity of your insights & experience on the matter.
Refused the Vitamin K? And how would your children feel if their baby died of a bleeding disorder?
