Nurses Fired After Live-Streaming Childbirth on TikTok

Two nurses in Malaysia were fired after live-streaming a childbirth on TikTok. The incident sparked outrage and raised concerns about patient privacy and the responsible use of social media by healthcare professionals. The hospital administration acted swiftly, immediately terminating the nurses' employment. "Demi mengejar views," said one hospital official, "ramai orang semakin galak menghasilkan konten bersifat sembarangan." This translates to, "In pursuit of views, many are increasingly creating irresponsible content." The video, though not showing the patient's face, violated hospital policy and ethical guidelines. The quick response by the hospital sends a clear message about the importance of patient confidentiality. This incident serves as a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of irresponsible social media use in professional settings.
