Health Care Worker Responds to Backlash for Dancing on Disabled Patient’s Head.

The news as it trends.

An Atlanta healthcare worker from a TikTok handle named ‘chreshamalu’ has sparked outrage after videos surfaced showing her dancing provocatively over the heads of disabled patients.

In one widely-circulated clip, she stands on a chair, gyrating above a seated patient whose head is bowed.

The video amassed millions of views and sparked criticism from every quarter.

In response to the backlash, the woman posted a video defending her actions, saying, “Now it’s a video that’s going viral of me, the healthcare worker that’s dancing on top of her patient’s head.

It’s not what it is.” She further said the patient was “verbal” and “looked very aware and comfortable”.

Not deterred by such criticism, she followed with another video of her dancing over another patient in the bathtub, saying, “Onto the next”.

Her subsequent posting fueled even more debate over her conduct as a licensed healthcare professional.

The role of social media in professional settings and the boundaries of appropriate behavior continue to be hotly debated.
