A Tunisian doctor is facing widespread backlash after live-streaming a surgical procedure on TikTok. The doctor, working in a private hospital, broadcasted the operation to thousands of viewers, capturing the footage of an unconscious and non-consenting patient.
The incident has sparked outrage among healthcare professionals and the public alike, prompting the president of the Regional Council of the Order of Physicians to launch an investigation. According to local media reports, the doctor has been identified and will face a disciplinary hearing.
The president has stressed the gravity of the situation, stating that such behaviour is unacceptable and undermines the integrity and nobility of the medical profession.
