A Texas mother’s viral TikTok is sparking outrage after she shared footage of her daughter, Karrie Jones, in visible agony while waiting to be admitted for labor at Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, Texas.
The video, posted by Jones’ mother Kash (@kashman2814), has now been viewed more than 23 million times.
In the clip, Jones is seen doubled over in a wheelchair as a nurse asks admission questions. Her mother wrote in the text overlay that the staff kept her daughter in the waiting area for “more than 30 mins,” and that Jones’ son was born just “12 min later.” “The delivery was AWFUL,” the overlay continued, while the caption accused a “deathly charge nurse” of choosing “paperwork over life.”
At one point in the video, Jones screamed that the baby is “in her a--,” prompting her mother to ask the nurse, “Ya’ll treat all your patients like this or just the Black ones?”
The footage showed Jones coming out of the wheelchair and attempting to turn herself over as she appeared to be actively giving birth. In another clip, Kash recorded from inside her purse and captured her daughter pushing and crying out in pain.
Her mother asked, “Are y’all for real right now? Does she have to give birth in a chair?” The nurse responded that she “can’t take her upstairs,” leading Jones’ mom to question why staff would “take a chance of infections and her having a baby in this chair.”

You wrote “childbirth” not “this childbirth”.
If the mother to be had not been under the care of an O.B. (which is probable based on the article) and if labor was progressing very quickly and if there were other indications of it being a high risk pregnancy such as the mother to be being overweight (I did not see the video) than yes this child birth might have met the definition of being an emergency.
Then it wasn’t an emergency
Depending on her health and other factors it very well could have met the definition of a high risk pregnancy.
And?
And have a lovely day.
