Olivia Tyler, a 33-year-old nurse and TikToker, has gotten a lot of criticism for posting a video on her TikTok profile right after one of her patients died. People on social media called her out for not having empathy and questioned who she really was. The video that is now popular on all social media sites was posted on June 17. Her TikTok handle ‘Olivia tylerr33,’ headlined, ‘it never gets easier.’ “Lost a patient today,” the video’s caption says as she paces back and forth in the hospital hallway. It quickly went viral, and many of the responses were kind and talked about how hard it is to be a doctor like that.

The nurse deleted the video after getting so much backlash, but it was too late. Other TikTok profiles have, in fact, “dueted” the post to draw attention to it and say what they think about it. “When someone dies, their first thought is to make a TikTok, edit it, and post it for comments. And exposure,” said the Twitter user marc0p0l0o3. Olivia hasn’t said anything clear about the mean comments. But a lot of the comments on her later TikTok videos talk about a new post.
A sad song plays over the video: “I put on my armor to show you how strong I am. I’m putting on my armor to show you who I am. I’m unstoppable.” People didn’t like the idea of making a video at that time and said it was disrespectful to the sick person and his or her family. Some people pointed out and asked if the video was made up or not, while others questioned if a real patient had died.
The people who use Twitter didn’t wait much longer before making sure their voices are heard. A tweet that has been seen more than 14 million times said, “Aw man, I can’t believe my patient died, let me go make a tiktok rq [real quick],” along with a link to the video.
Another Twitter user said, “I get that you want people to know how hard it is to work in healthcare, but it seems like a patient was just used for likes and views. There are better ways to share stories, and this wasn’t one of them.
Some of the nurses also said what they thought and said what they thought about this issue. “Never has a nurse ever done this. We are taking care of more than one patient at a time, so when we are helping patient A, we are also thinking about patients B and C. No time for this, and to be honest, it makes you very hard. This is how you get attention,” @Ray82253885 wrote.
Another nurse, @anccpt on Twitter, said, “I had a lot of people die on my watch during the pandemic—like a lot—and this kind of performative garbage makes me so angry I can’t even explain it.”
TikTok has always been at the center of arguments, mostly because people post stupid and illogical things on this social media site. But this is not the first time a nurse has been in a fight like this. In 2021, a nurse was punished for what she was said to have done to patients in movies that turned out to be pranks.
