Sansum Clinic Staff Face Backlash Over Viral Video Allegedly Shaming Patients

Santa Barbara, CA A video circulating online, originally posted by a healthcare worker identified as 'angieuncut' and later re-shared by user 'oryx', has ignited a firestorm of controversy, showing staff from Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara allegedly mocking patients' bodily fluids. The video, a series of photos, features healthcare workers posing with an examination table on which a substance is visible, accompanied by text overlays such as "guess the substance!" and "make sure to leave your healthcare workers sweet gifts like these!" The footage has drawn widespread condemnation from the public and healthcare professionals alike. Numerous online comments express shock and anger, with one user stating, "This is absolutely unacceptable. WHY ARE THEY SHAMING PATIENTS!?" Another commented, "I 'm mortified and that's not even my bodily fluids. Those poor ppl that went that day." Many have called for the clinic and the individuals involved to be held accountable, with suggestions ranging from filing complaints to the Medical Board of California to contacting the clinic directly. Concerns have also been raised about the impact of such behavior on patient trust and anxiety, particularly regarding sensitive procedures like Pap smears. A commenter shared, "Yeah I 'm actually never getting a pap. I was supposed to get my first one 2 years ago and have been to anxious to go. They don 't realize how paralyzing posting this was." The original poster, 'angieuncut', reportedly attempted to delete the evidence, but the content had already gone viral. The incident has led to calls for the involved nurses to seek new careers, with one nurse-to-nurse comment stating, "you should be ashamed of yourself. For the way you embarrassed your patients, yourself, your employer, your coworkers, your family and the entire nursing community. Respectfully, find a new career. Thanks!" Sansum Clinic has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident, but online activity suggests that negative reviews are being posted and potentially deleted from Google review platforms.
