Even when the daughter of Glenn Beck gives birth to a new child, she can’t get away from a partisan, night nurse. Glenn Beck at the Blaze shared the experience of seeing his daughter berated and harassed by a Baylor night nurse. Beck says everyone else at the hospital was great, except this one nurse who hasn’t been named.
“I was there with [my wife] Tania when she tried to feed the children, and I know what it is like for a woman when she first tries to feed the baby,” Beck said. “The body isn’t working yet. It hurts, it’s uncomfortable, it’s emotionally difficult, and they immediately think ‘something’s wrong with me, why isn’t it working?’ Anybody who has had a child knows how traumatic it is for a mom.”
So the night nurse came in, Beck said, and she was immediately “cold and callous.”
“This isn’t going to work, and this is going to hurt, and you’re just going to have to get through it,” she said brusquely, Beck related, having heard the story the next day.
Tim, the husband of Beck’s daughter, tried to “soften” the situation and asked what he could do to help when they got home. If they got a little refrigerator to store the milk, would he be able to help feed the baby at night?
“You can’t help,” the nurse allegedly replied.
Tim said something along the lines of, “what?” and said their friends had done something similar, but the nurse just repeated: “You can’t help. She’s got to do it. You can’t help.”
“Look, how old are you two?” the nurse proceeded to ask.
The two said their ages – both are in their mid-twenties – and then the nurse asked how long they have been married. They said a little over a year.
“So, this wasn’t a planned pregnancy?” she inquired.
Then, Beck said, the nurse proceeded to offer this bone-chilling advice to the new parents: “Look, don’t shake the baby or you’re going to end up on the news.”
“I’m sorry, do my children look like baby shakers?” Beck demanded. “So my daughter is having her first breastfeeding experience, with, I don’t know, somebody who lost their heart or something. I don’t know. And everybody has a bad day, but you don’t do that job and have a bad day.”
Beck said Hannah told her doctor about the experience the next morning, and the woman almost couldn’t believe the nurse was a Baylor employee. She immediately went to file a complaint.
