A pregnant woman was given a trespassing notice after she used the bathroom at Emory University Hospital Midtown, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Tameka Evans went to the hospital to visit her uncle and found out he had been moved to another facility, the news station reported.
Before she left Emory, she said she asked an employee if she could use the restroom and was told she could, Channel 2 reported.
But when Evans, who is six months pregnant, emerged from the bathroom, a security officer handed her a trespassing notice “to leave the property of the hospital immediately for violating hospital regulations.”
The notice also states “that the hospital is private property, and is available for our patients and their visitors.”
An Emory Healthcare spokeswoman told Channel 2 that officials are reviewing the incident and “will work to refine and improve” its policies and practices regarding visitors.
