A day after four nurses of the Malkangiri District Headquarters Hospital were taken to task and sent on compulsory leave after their TikTok video recorded in a special childcare ward unit had gone viral; another such video started doing rounds on the social media on Friday.
This time the video emerged from the SCB Medical College Hospital in Cuttack and Hospital Superintendent Prof CBK Mohanty said he would look into the matter and the culprits would be punished.
The video, purportedly recorded in an orthopaedic ward of the hospital, is about six to seven months old in which two women attendants of the ward are seen dancing to a tune with some patients in the background.
“The incident has come to my notice and a team is examining the video. Basing on the findings of the team, appropriate action will be taken against those found guilty,” Mohanty said.
An old attendant, who featured in the video, claimed that she was not aware of the fact that her activities in the hospital ward were recorded. “A young staff of our ward asked me to dance and very reluctantly I joined her in a few dancing steps,” she said, adding that the incident happened about six to seven months ago and she was not aware as to how that video has now gone viral in the social media.
