We love the odor of chickens coming house to roost within the morning.
Final week, BOSSIP reported on a harrowing expertise that 38-year-old Mercedes Wells suffered by the hands of the egregiously inept employees at Franciscan Well being Crown Level hospital in Indiana. Wells and her husband Leon got here to the power to have their daughter delivered solely to be kicked out by a nurse who basically denied that Wells was really in labor.
Eight minutes after leaving the hospital, the couple of three different kids delivered their child, Alena, on the aspect of the street inside their automobile. Writing that sentence nonetheless raises our blood stress so we will’t even start to think about what it did to the Wells household. Nonetheless, it seems that even on this s**thole nation, justice can nonetheless be discovered.
Based on NBC Chicago, Franciscan Well being CEO Raymond Grady introduced that the nurse in query and the physician who co-signed the inexplicable choice have been each terminated saying that they “are not employed by Franciscan.”
“We didn’t take heed to Mrs. Wells’ issues. As an skilled mom who publicly acknowledged having beforehand given start at our hospital with a constructive expertise, she knew one thing was not proper,” Grady mentioned in a press release. “We should repair what failed in our hospital in order that nobody experiences what occurred to Mercedes Wells.”
Grady continued by addressing the issues that Black of us have had traditionally with the sort of mistreatment at medical amenities.
“Secondly, I’ve mandated cultural competency coaching for all labor and supply employees. Lastly, all pregnant sufferers leaving the Labor and Supply unit might be examined by a doctor earlier than they depart the hospital,” Grady mentioned. “On behalf of Franciscan Alliance and Franciscan Well being Crown Level, I apologize to Mrs. Wells and her household for failing to reside as much as our Franciscan values. We’re dedicated to holding ourselves accountable by way of our actions so that each affected person is heard and receives compassionate, equitable care. Any proof of actions on the contrary is not going to be tolerated.”
We’re glad to see Franciscan and Raymond Grady step as much as acknowledge the hurt finished and instantly implement protocol to make sure that it’s the final time it occurs. That is what accountability seems to be like in observe.
