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.”

Well, everyone gets the same treatment …it’s always horrible. Our healthcare system is broken. Government broke it. Glad someone recorded it and posted it. Need more of this!!!
I’m not watching this
For a mother to give birth within 30 minutes of arrival to the hospital is extremely rare. If she is a second or third time mother she knows she needs to get there earlier
The nurse might be a cold and viscous jerk or not I don’t know. Why was the mother showing up just before delivery
The hospital is not a field hospital. It’s not primitive. They have to have admission information they need to know medical history, insurance info, next of kin
The mother ends up in ICU or the OR. The baby ends up in NICU it’s well into the millions
If she didn’t want the hospital interfering with her why didn’t she just deliver the baby at home
She’s with her mother?
Where’s the husband? Does she want the hospital to do his job. She suing?
She can do a go fund me. Check if she’s started that ale ready
The mother is filming?
Hmm. If have to coach my mother how to do that
Sounds like the 23 mil viewers are there for the drama. I’ll bet there was a lot of screaming and yelling.
Always when I’ve been in a hospital if a woman came in while in labor they took her strait up to the delivery room. I’ve watched women in labor be wheeled sometimes very quickly past everyone on the way there.
For some reason full moons keep the delivery rooms full.
Usually they check the women in up there. I can’t see that this would ever change unless they want babies coming out in the waiting room.
People think a hospital can fix every problem quickly...it can’t.....millions give birth at home...
It’s a well known phenomenon among hospital staff, no one wants to deliver a baby who is not part of the OB team. The doctor in a ER will be the last one to firmly say get her out of her and up to labor and delivery. He’s the last one because everyone else would have done it by then
OB/GYN are the most sued doctors.
I’m not going to post any judgement on this case.
But I think the health care industry is going to get a whole lot worse. Generations who care less, willing to sacrifice less. People raised on DEI hatreds happy to torture and harm people when no one is looking. Huge numbers of people will suffer and be harmed with no one knowing or seeing.
There’s another phenomenon known in literary circles which is that fairy tales -which originate at least as far back as the Middle Ages- are full of stepmothers
Childbirth is dangerous. It is a natural thing, the uterus s in its normal form when pregnant, but things - when they happen- can be deadly
You want to be in the hospital at least to be near the OR, the NICU, pediatricians and you want people there to stop any bleeding. I took care of someone who was bleeding out - the surgical team took over quick. You can say a head would bleeds a lot. But no. Compared to this. No. That cannot be managed at home. And there’s no guarantee against it
This woman showed up late Additionally, if she had insurance she’d have been being seen by OB/GYN at the hospital she planned to go to. They wheel her up to the L&d suite and no paperwork has to be done. It’s there
What’s she doing showing up with a baby coming out to a hospital who doesn’t know her
23 million watching this? No wonder we’re in a mess
Think people.
It’s people magazine. Second word in the headline is Screams
Scam
One, even second or third time, cannot always get to the hospital ‘on time’. Don’t be a pinhead.
I had no anesthesia for my second son who ended up being 9 lbs. 5 ozs. I’d been to the hospital the night before with terrible heartburn. It was so bad, I had pain in the middle of my back. I was afraid something was wrong. The ER doctor told me I had gas trapped in my esophagus, and it wasn’t going to go away until the baby came. He did an internal, and told me I would probably be back at the hospital later that evening. I told him he was nuts, that I was going home to bed. He sent me home, gave me multiple bottles of Gelusil, and told me to take it as often as I needed it. The heartburn had ended by then. All I wanted to do was get back home and crawl into bed. I must have been in bed a few hours when my water broke. Back to the hospital. It was not quite 7 a.m. when they wheeled me into the delivery room. The doctor said to me: “I’ve got good news and I’ve got back news. The bad news is that we don’t have an anesthesiologist. The good news is that with a few good pushes, your baby will be delivered.” I don’t know about other women, but I never screamed either time I was in labor, and I was too busy pushing my son out to scream. When I watch TV shows or movies that show women screaming relentlessly, I laugh.
There is no reason to call people names
I am a labor and delivery RN don’t call me or anyone else such anger filled humiliating names
This a new thing here
Jim did not allow it.
This isn’t X
It thrives on reader donors. Just stop it
For any civilized person reading-
I didn’t say that could not happen I did say that if she knew she was pregnant, which most people do, she’d have been getting prenatal care and she’d have gone to that hospital and they would have a chart, a phot, ID, insurance, past medical history on her. Her mother would have known the procedure, when regular contractions start go in. On arrival the labor helper, the mother, determined in prenatal care, would know what elevator, etc
They went to the ED. They did not know her
She wasn’t getting care. Probably no insurance. The viral video is going to pay
If she can sue the nasty nurse she has that down. She’s better at filming than at having insurance and having a prenatal plan
You don’t go to the er.
As a former police officer, I would hear stories like this frequently from paramedics. Pregnant black welfare queens would wait until the last minute so that they’d give birth in the ambulance and avoid a possible hospital bill.
The LE Boyer method teaches that you use all that energy to just push. I think it’s the most sensible. The L&D people don’t know what to do with effective pushing nor what to do with a mom who can get up and walk after delivery. But the baby isn’t drugged up and you’re home sooner
Delivery is just not as much of a screaming painful experience as the fear mongers try to tell you. I speak from experience
Em…if it walks like a duck. Yep
“ pinhead”
Where did you come from?
We don’t talk to each other like that here. It’s not som nasty social media site
Pinhead?
I’m a nurse with an excellent education, and two additional college degrees. An experienced labor and delivery nurse who has saved lives in the delivery room. I’m a combat veteran officer.
Stop this
I don’t think the Le Boyer technique was around when I had my sons in 1966 and 1971.
🤣👍🤣
