Can I sue Oschner for denying my pregnant wife access to her OBGYN over a mask?

I am beyond livid right now.
My wife is less than 2 months pregnant. We had our first appointment scheduled for Wednesday. Today she started bleeding slightly, called the doctor, and they wanted to see her immediately.
We got there just before closing time. They would not allow us back without a mask.
My wife conceded and put her mask on just so she could get back there (edit: she clarified that she did not ever actually wear her mask) I went and sat in the furthest corner of the waiting room WITH NO ONE ELSE IN THERE. And the Nazis came out there to tell me I had to put on a mask or leave. Same for my wife. They walked all the way across the room to get within 3 feet of me.
I lost my shite, to say the least. None of this is about our health. They don't give a rat's arse about our health or our baby. They only care about a paper mask strapped to your face for the sake of compliance.
No pics of wife.
Edited to add a few points of clarification:
- the bleeding was very little and my wife is doing fine. She called the doctor just to inquire and they acted like it was an emergency and wanted to see us right away, instead of waiting til Wednesday
- they actually called her back and told her that the PA had already left for the day and they could see her first thing Tuesday morning instead. Not 5 minutes later they called back again and said the doctor was sticking around and she could see us today if we got there by 4:20. We did.
- i DID NOT go in there looking for a fight or to prove a point.. Nor did she. She actually told me that they wouldnt say anything about a mask. She was wrong.
- I kindly declined the mask and we proceeded into the EMPTY waiting room. The receptionist didnt aay a word about a mask. After two minutes, the security guard followed us in there to harass me about the mask. I told her I had no interest in wearing a useless mask. My wife was not wearing one either. She threatened to go get someone else. Okay.
- my wife went to pee in a cup without a mask, and I went and sat in the corner of the room against a window, with no one else in sight except the receptionist 50 ft away
- thats when the Nazis came out and approached me all the way across the room. I kindly rejected it at first until they threatened to deny services to my wife. Thats when I lost it.
-my wife saw the majority of this interaction as she hd reentered the waiting room. It pissed her off as well. I said what I had to say then we left
- by the time we reached the truck, my wife was visibly upset so I actually conceded. Walked back in, grabbed a mask, strapped it on, And then they told us the doctor had already left. It was literally two minutes.
- we left pissed as hell and within an hour, we had a new doctor lined up, with an appointment
UPDATE: We got an appointment today with our new doctor (a day earlier than our original appointment.) Couldn't be happier. And I got to see my child for the first time and hear the heartbeat. What a surreal moment. Healthy as can be, along with my wife.
I never "endangered my wife and child" as some here suggested, nor would I ever. Let this thread serve as further confirmation that there are truly vile people among us. I won't mention any names. But God bless you, Mo Jeaux, mmcgrath, kennypowers and MoronNation!

Those rules have been in place for a very long time now. Regardless of anyone’s opinion of the validity of maskwearing, hospitals have required them for a couple of years and I’m sure you knew that already.

Just put your neighbors in the cattle car. It’s been the rules for years and don’t tell anyone you’re Jewish. You know better.

No. You can’t. Every hospital in the nation is still a mask facility. They have every right to demand you mask up.

Do you think you are informing here?
Why don't you comment/opine on what the obvious topic is here.
Are you tired of the made-up bullshite, too? What do normal people who actually follow science do in the face of this idiocy?
Anything?

Oh really? Based on what exactly? Science?
This was the first place I have been in over a year that has forced me to wear a mask or deny me service. The damn hospital. The place where we are supposed to go because they care about our health.
shite like this is exactly why the entire medical industry has destroyed their credibility with the American people.
That was the most un-American thing I have ever experienced personally.

It was more important for you to be there for your wife and your unborn child. You failed them both by acting this way. There’s times to make a point. This wasn’t one of them.

it's a hospital. covid aside if they ask you to wear a mask, do so karen
Posted on 2/14/22 at 6:14 pm to Paddyshack
Yes you can.
You won't receive any relief, however.

The same hospital that inflated COVID cases and deaths in exchange for monetary gain. No thanks, dumbass.
These people don't care one iota about our health.

Cool. Your pregnant wife can’t see her OBGYN now. Congrats.

Congrats on the dumbest response so far.
I'm not sick and neither is my wife.

This. I've hated the mask crap from the beginning, but the OP sounds like an idiot.

Correct. We have already made a switch to a new one however.

I hope you’re looking into how to deliver a baby by yourself.
I hate masks as the next guy. But in my opinion, as a fellow message board warrior, is that adding in a preventable stressor to your pregnant wife during an apparent medical emergency is not the time nor place. But hey, you do you.
