My family and I were turned down for medical services on a few occasions, none of them a birth but, she would have ready to fight a motherfucker on that one. She goes into honey badger mode during labor.
Damn that sucks. Medical in the USA is a joke. I was high on natural hormones that put me in an extremely dopy good mood, I didn't start feeling the pissy hormones until much later. Fiance wasn't allowed in the room for that part because "'muh COVID"'.
When the labor went south and I had to get c section they wanted me to sign something while I was in extreme pain and could barely hold a pen. A team of professionals burst into the room for an emergency c section even though things seemed to be fine minus the extreme pain. He wanted to read the document before I signed and the rage I felt for their intrusion made my condition go from somewhat stable to just about putting me into shock. I did need emergency intervention after that but God damn I loath the medical system
