Watched a show on TV where a lady was sent home in labor

Now this also happened to me, i was sent home with my first at 6cm only for my water to break and go back half hr later and be 9cm and with my last baby they sent my hubby home cause i wasnt in labour only for him to miss the whole thing because i was indeed in labour... sorry if im scaring all the first time moms but was watching this on tv and this girl was having her first baby, presented at the delivery suite in pain... the midwife told her she wasnt in labour and was almost mocking her saying "you think its bad now wait till ur really in labour " the girl refused to go home and 2 hrs later the midwife said "i guess you win we got you a bed" while rolling her eyes. another midwife checked her and she was 9cm about ready to push. how insane is that??
