After comedian Lee Su-ji played a troublesome hospital patient following her role as a kindergarten teacher, working nurses are reacting by saying it gives them post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
On the 5th, a fake documentary video titled "Hwang Jeong-ja's wise hospital life, the silver age" was posted on the YouTube channel "Hot Issue Ji."
In the video, Lee Su-ji appears as a middle-aged female patient, "Hwang Jeong-ja." Hwang hurt her arm while playing golf and was admitted to the hospital. In the process, she acts out various nuisance behaviors inside the hospital.
Hwang starts causing trouble at mealtime. Shouting, "Hey, nurse, when are you bringing my food?" she demanded her meal. When a nurse said, "Please wait a moment," she talked behind their back in front of other patients, saying, "The kids at this hospital have pretty faces but are slow with their hands."
After the meal arrived, she complained, "It's bland. This isn't seasoned at all right now, nurse." She then asked to switch the meat to fish, but when told it was difficult as a rule, she insisted, saying, "Then take this away. I'm not eating this," a scene that was also captured.
Hwang then continues to eat boisterously in front of a sign that says "Silence," brags to a nurse about her son and tries to set up a blind date, and gets angry over her discharge bill, saying, "Aren't you sticking it to me because I'm old?"
As of the 7th, the video has surpassed 530,000 views, with more than 1,000 comments.
Working nurses are also leaving comments on the video. They wrote, "I'm a nurse and I've got chills," "I think I saw this yesterday too," "I'm a nurse and I'm getting PTSD," and "Ms. Hwang Jeong-ja is the mild version. Not a nightmare patient, just an ordinary person."
