A woman in Louisville, Ky., gave birth on the pavement outside a hospital on Mother's Day weekend after she and her husband encountered locked doors to the facility.
Sarah Patrick and her husband David Patrick said they were unable to enter Baptist Health Louisville, leading to their baby boy being delivered in a parking area, USA Today reported on Friday.
The couple initially tried to enter the Women First pavilion at the facility, only to be met by a pair of locked doors after the first set of automatic doors opened.
After multiple attempts at finding an open entrance, with temperatures in the 30s, David Patrick called 911 and told the dispatcher his wife was "in a lot of pain, and she's ready to get this thing over with."
The dispatcher then guided him through the delivery steps.

They will bill her anyway!
The sunlight will help kill the CoV.
If you’re not COVID, go to hell.
Jeez... does Kentucky’s Governor Bevis still have the hospitals “locked down”?
Per their website, there should have been entrances available. Someone, possibly plural, need/s to be fired over this...

And they will charge her with indecent exposure, creating a nuisance, endangering the life of a child, and failure to abort. She should be out by the kid’s 20th birthday.
Hospital said “Sorry about that, we’re good now, okay?”
Yeah, and maybe bill her extra for making a mess on their sidewalk.
That is a fire hazard and someone needs to be fined by the state and sued by the couple.
Did the newborn and couple have a mask? If not, we will have to call the police! Sorry. And Congratulations :)

They probably had zero patients or staff in their vacant hospital.
The door was probably set to open going out, but not going in. This is a very common thing in hospitals. Many doors that are normally opened during the day are locked at night or on holidays, for example. This is a programmable feature in most modern building security systems.
The door will usually have a Crash Bar on the inside to get out in the event of an emergency. This is a code requirement.
Unless it is chained. I know a couple people who have been trapped in hospital stairwells all night when the exits were chained closed and the crash bars didn’t work.

Really!
That’s a visit to the hospital that can’t be postponed. I wonder if the idiots in charge thought of that.
