Isla's elevator vaginal delivery
Isla arrives in labor and delivers in the elevator before she can reach OB.
In Plain English

What Happened in the Episode
Isla comes in labor and gives birth in the elevator.
Clinical Concept
Unexpected delivery locations require immediate maternal and newborn safety checks.

Treatment and Management Overview
The supported management is emergency vaginal delivery outside the OB unit.
What TV Gets Right
The delay-to-OB setup explains why a hospital delivery can still happen in an unconventional location.
