Doctors of the clinic "made fun" of patients: karma soon caught up with them (3 photos + 1 video)
A group of medical workers at the Sansum Clinic in the US state of California filmed a "hilarious" video where they laughed at patients in emergency rooms. The scandalous TikTok video boomeranged against the pranksters.
In the now-deleted @angieuncut/TikTok account (other users saved the full version in their profiles), you can see how the doctors posed next to stains of bodily fluids left by patients on the paper covering of examination tables.
The video was accompanied by the caption "Guess the substance" and a series of photos: the first shows workers smiling, with the text appearing above: "Can patients leave you gifts?" The next shows a smiling health care worker giving a thumbs up while leaning over a small stain on a table with the caption: "Yes!"
Another shot shows a worker leaning over a large stain with her tongue hanging out with the caption: "All shapes and sizes." The final photo shows a group of workers gathered around another exam table with a stain and the caption: "Don't forget to leave your health care workers sweet gifts like these!"

Sutter Health, one of Northern California's largest nonprofit health care providers, which partners with Sansum, said it was outraged by the behavior of its employees.
"We are deeply concerned about the disrespectful social media post made on a former employee's personal account. We are conducting a full investigation in accordance with our policies," a Sutter Health spokesperson said.
It was later reported that Sansum fired everyone involved in the video. In addition, it turned out that the footage was released by one of the company's former employees, who was fired two months ago.
"Our patients' trust and dignity are our highest priority. Any behavior that violates these standards is unacceptable," the statement said.
