The National Privacy Commission reminded healthcare workers to practice caution when taking pictures or videos in the healthcare setting following the viral video posted by a nursing student about a patient flatlining. The government agency on Monday addressed the TikTok video posted by content creator Juilliana Villafuerte , a nursing student from the University of Perpetual Help-Calamba who was criticized for posting a moment of a patient losing their life. The clip included the text, “a patient flatlined.
” Villafuerte did not include the name or the face of the patient but captured the moment for a content, saying that the patient was not revived despite life support measures. She also said that the moment made her realize how “life is just so short.” “So short for us to worry, complain, and wait for something bigger and better, instead of focusing on all the simple blessings that surround us every day.
So, love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don’t. And believe that everything happens for a reason,” the nursing student said.
Villafuerte then shared a clip of her crying and admitted that she finds her line of work difficult at times. The video earned her backlash from several online users who raised concerns about the content featuring the cardiac monitor. “Who on earth IN THEIR MIND would vlog a clip during a flatline moment of their patient?????? That is SOOOO agitating,” an online user commented.
