A quartet of Atlanta nurses have been fired for recording a viral TikTok video of them grousing about the irritating habits of the patients they’re tasked with helping and their families.
“We already told you to push the call light,” one nurse says in the clip. “But every five minutes you have a family member coming to the front desk asking for something else.”
A colleague then enters the frame and does a sarcastic impression of a demanding relative.
“Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me!” she says. “Can I have some water? Excuse Me! Can I have a blanket?”
Four Emory Healthcare workers appeared in the minute-long clip, which spread widely online before being taken down.
Another nurse who appeared in the video moans about mothers asking about the weight of their newborns while still holding them.
