Atlanta nurses fired after making comments about patients in TikTok \u201cicks\u201d trend TikTokFour Labor and Delivery nurses in Atlanta got fired after posting a viral TikTok sharing their \u201cicks\u201d concerning expecting mothers and their families. In December, a group of labor and delivery nurses from Emory University hospital uploaded a TikTok in which they discussed their patient \u2018icks.\u2019 \u201cMy ick is when you come in for your induction, talking about \u2018can I take a shower, can I eat?’\u201d one said, with another going on to add: \u201cMy ick is when you ask me how much the baby weighs and it\u2019s still in your hands.\u201d Many commenters were outraged by the now-deleted clip, with one user commenting on a re-upload of the post, \u201cmy ick is unethical professionals.\u201d Another commenter went on to say: \u201cMy ick is knowing health care professionals are judging you when you\u2019re going through a traumatic and beautiful experience.\u201d Nurses fired following controversial TikTok Following the backlash, Emory Healthcare staff fired the nurses, and released a public statement on December 8 addressing the situation. \u201cWe are aware of a TikTok video that included disrespectful and unprofessional comments about maternity patients at Emory University Hospital Midtown. We have investigated the situation and taken appropriate actions with the former employees responsible for the video,\u201d they said. \u201cThis video does not represent our commitment to patient and family-centered care and falls far short of the values and standards we expect every member of our team to hold and demonstrate. \u201cAt no time should our patients ever feel they are not being treated with care and respect. Every patient at Emory Healthcare deserves to be cared for by a compassionate, experienced team in a comfortable and safe environment.\u201d Although the original video has now been deleted, reuploads of the post are continuing to circulate on TikTok, with responses to the clip garnering millions of views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
