Sparking Outrage: Surgeon And Nurse Filmed Dancing During Operation!
A video that appears to show medics dancing in the middle of an operation has gone viral after it was posted online.
The clip shows a plastic surgeon and his surgical scrub nurse in the middle of a surgery at a clinic in the city of Medellin in Colombia.With pop music playing in the theatre, the pair put down their tools next to the 'patient' before bringing out their best dance moves. The video appears to be intended as a spoof - but some viewers have failed to see the funny side. One even called on the surgeon to be punished for his actions.After the short burst of dancing - in which they struggle to stifle their laughter - the pair return to their apparent surgery as if nothing has happened. Bernardo Alejandro Guerra, a Medellin councillor, said he was shocked when he saw the film.He said the footage had come to his attention and he had reported the incident to local media.Mr Guerra said: 'This is a lack of ethics and respect for the patient and the profession.'The amazing thing is that the anaesthesiologist does not appear in the video. He is the one responsible for the sleeping of the patient and he allows them to dance in the room, without respecting the protocol.'
He asked the authorities to take action and punish the surgeon.Mr Guerra said a whistleblower had leaked the video to him because he was unhappy with the surgeon's actions.
