CROWN POINT, Ind. (WLS) -- The doctor and nurse who attended to a Chicago mother who was discharged from a northwest Indiana hospital shortly before giving birth earlier this week are no longer with that hospital, the Franciscan Health Crown Point president and CEO said Friday.

Mercedes Wells said she knew something was wrong when she went to the hospital to give birth and they did not put her in a labor and delivery room.

Instead, 38-year-old Wells says, she spent six hours there until her contractions were just one minute apart. The nurse told her to go home, she said. Eight minutes after being forced to leave, she gave birth in her car .
