While the hospital was quick to make a decision on nurses to avoid further reactions from netizens, such instances are commonly happening on TikTok and social media. A similar incident in December 2022 caught the attention of online users when a group of nurses recorded a video in which they were discussing and complaining about their patients.

Talking about how patients send their family members to call them instead of using the call buttons and fathers asking for paternity tests, the video went viral on social media and ended up taking the jobs of the nurses featured in the video.
