A recent incident at Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite, Texas, has received attention after a video was posted on TikTok. The video, shared by a user named Kash (kashman2814), shows her daughter, Karrie Jones, waiting to be admitted while in labor. In the footage, Jones is in a wheelchair and appears to be in discomfort. A nurse asks her questions about her medical history and pregnancy before admitting her for care.
In the video, Kash asks if all patients are treated the same way or if the experience is different for Black women. The nurse appears to forget Jones’s due date, leading to frustration from both Jones and her mother. Jones stands up from her wheelchair while her mother requests more urgent care, expressing concern about possible health risks.
According to Kash’s TikTok post, Jones’s son was born 12 minutes after the video was recorded. Kash said they waited more than 30 minutes in the reception area. She described the delivery as difficult and criticized the staff for focusing on paperwork. She also said the delay led to her grandson needing additional medical tests within 24 hours…
