Blame the government, and especially Obamacare, regulations for putting paperwork before patient care. The nurse or aide doing the intake questionnaire would likely be dinged for not filling out the form before initiating patient care. Even patients coming in for routine follow up appointments are required to answer mostly irrelevant questions before being seen.
Why is the mon filming her daughter? Did they take classes to prep for child birth? Where is the child’s father?
Some truth but if she delivered on the chair or on the floor and there were complications the hospital would have sued as well. They should have immediately wheeled in a room and gotten paperwork info from the mom.
It is already happening. Doctors are owned by big hospital corporations which, in turn, are owned by companies like Blackrock and they do not care. They are not worried about malpractice suits because they have armies of lawyers to fight the little guy. Doctors and hospitals are treacherous placed. Obamacare got the ball rolling downhill and Covid was rhe nail in the coffin.
Nonsense. I’ve taken numerous people to hospital, not even related to them, and if they’re in serious distress the intake hands them off and lets me answer the questions. They certainly don’t sit there robotically checking boxes while the patient is screaming and likely to give birth any minute.
If you ever wonder why nurses and doctors are leaving the hospitals—a-hole patients is usually tops on the list. Who needs that crap?
If that were the case and the woman had pre-natal care from an OB team, the ED or L&D would have gotten a call and a heads up.
Stanne is right.
I worked at a hospital and my wife works at one now. She has for 20 years. Patients are mostly nice. But the cohort that are entitled and just generally jerks is growing. People getting punched in the face happens about once a week in our ED. Nurses are leaving in droves because of stuff like this.
That’s was my suspicion. I have no sympathy for this person. She shows up to a random hospital and wants instant care. Unless she is in immediate danger of dying, they have to do admitance procedures.
Two of my kids were born in our bedroom. Midwives only. No OBGYN at all throughout the pregnancies.
I did that. Politely asked to have my wife taken up and I would fill everything out. "Here's her card," etc. No problem at all. This "mom" just whipped out the camera.
[Where is the child’s father?]
That will be determined on a future episode of Maury.
Or it may simply be in the realm of the unknowable.
My second child came suddenly. There was little or no warning of his arrival, and I raced my wife through Arlington and across the bridge to Georgetown Hospital as quickly as I could, going through red lights along the way. When the time of birth was announced in the delivery room, I wrote to on the ticket from the parking garage. When I looked at the ticket later, there was less than five minutes between when I entered the garage and when the child was born.
What is the 16th century reenactment thing?
That’s a new one for me.
These Americanized ones are pretty lame compared to their great great grandmothers.
We were told later that this happened a lot. Since our tax money was paying for it, they would milk it for whatever they could get.
It looks that way. Maybe they get paid to do Tick Tock videos.
Has this writer never been to an ER? You could blood gushing on the floor and if the EMT’s did not bring you in you can wait in the lobby then show some insurance then answer some questions.
And, since a pregnant woman is not sick she will wait even longer.
