All of the healthcare workers shown in a now viral TikTok slideshow mocking their patients’ bodily fluids have been fired from the Santa Barbara clinic: “Protecting the trust of those we serve is our highest priority, and when that trust is violated, we take swift action to address it.”


Always nice when the trash takes itself out 😌

There are people who straight up won’t get pelvic exams until or unless something is *unavoidably wrong* due to embarrassment. Not lack of access or financial issues, just embarrassment.

Every time shit like this goes up to social media, more people decide not to go get a yearly checkup. This trend needs to die yesterday.

It’s actually HORRIBLE that these are the type of people in healthcare now. No empathy. No INTEGRITY. Just money hungry soulless garbage. People at their most vulnerable and this is what they do. Honestly firing them isn’t even enough anymore DO SOME DUE DILIGENCE like what?

So crazy that they spent the care and time censoring their badges with stupid little emojis but didn’t process their whole photoshoot is extremely violative of their patients’ privacy and trust. This is soooo mean-spirited. People seeking medical care are experiencing enough stress without worrying about their bodily functions being mocked, let alone publicly! People don’t just leave fluids like that for no reason, probably had to endure exams in obviously uncomfortable places which leaves bodily fluids and lubricant afterward. This is truly enraging!

My god, this is a group of absolutely moronic assholes

Good on the clinic!

If we weren’t dire for healthcare professionals, I would wish them a very difficult time finding another job. But alas there are shortages

Holy moly

Good that Sutter Health fired them all, that’s fuckin’ horrific that these healthcare workers would be posting that kind of shit.

And this is just what we’ve seen publicly. Who knows what they’ve been doing behind the scenes, such as in private groups chats, etc. There should be a more profound investigation launched.

Their licenses should be permanently revoked as well

For just once I would like a company to drop the PR speak in situations like this. I know there’s always things to be said about culture, bigger issues, concentration of blame, etc etc etc. But I just think about how the genuine reactions from their colleagues probably ranged from “what the fuck???” to “why would anyone do that???” and I wish that shock and absurdity would sometimes be reflected in the public statements. Such a bizarre, pointless, and disturbing action feels odd to be met with PR jargon.

The facility should have named everyone involved in their public message that all were fired. None should be allowed to work in the medical industry again.

Honestly this pissed me off. Mean ass people go into health care

Was the first pic taken with the intent to mock people? It looks like a standard group pic someone may have just taken. Would suck if some people randomly hopped into a group pic and then a callous person used it as part of a group of pics to mock patients.

See I love my OB’s office but now the thought is in my head “what if *they* do stuff like this too.” That’s the kind of harm shit like this does.


Good. This is appalling.

This is where I regularly take my kids to urgent care – needless to say I will not be going there ever again. Disgusting.

I’ve spent my life in hospitals. I’ve shit myself, puked on myself and staff, and I’m sure other gross bodily fluids have made their way outside of me. I was absolutely humiliated and the nurses and techs that were there were so kind and professional that if I found out they made fun of me behind my back I cannot guarantee I would survive the humiliation.

I hope every single person in these photos are blacklisted and get their licenses taken away. Absolutely vile and unnecessarily cruel.
