A nurse who was seen on video asking a woman in labor to complete paperwork as she cried out in pain is no longer employed at the hospital where the incident took place.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, the Dallas Regional Medical Center said in part, “the individual shown in the video did not reflect our values or uphold our standards and is no longer employed at Dallas Regional Medical Center.”
The statement did not specify whether the nurse was fired or resigned.
“We take the actions seen in the video seriously. We have initiated training in recognizing the signs of imminent delivery, empathy, and compassionate care, as well as bias training for our staff and caregivers to ensure our values are upheld in every encounter,” the statement said.
