Medical student in Mexico under fire for posting selfie with dying patient
Source: sfgate
A medical student at the Universidad del Valle de Mexico in the border city of Reynosa, near Hidalgo, Texas, is coming under fire this morning after snapping a photo with a dying woman as a souvenir for her first day on the job. The student, identified as María José González by Mexican news outlet Proceso.com.mx, reportedly found the woman in serious condition while on duty at the university’s hospital when she decided to take a “selfieeee,” according to screenshots of the photo. The photo, which was originally uploaded to messaging app Whatsapp, has been circulating around social media and gaining criticism from Twitter users who call González a “stupid student.” González replied to the criticism by posting an apology in Spanish on her Facebook account, saying she snapped the photo as a keepsake for the first day of her internship, but never intended for it to be published on social media.
