A shocking video has surfaced on social media, capturing disturbing footage of two separate teams of surgeons apparently engaged in a "competition" while they performed surgeries on patients. It has created a massive public outburst across social media, where people have agonisingly claimed the unseriousness of the Pakistani medical facility and have demanded immediate suspension of the doctors and the departments involved.

The video reportedly captures two teams performing C-section procedures on separate patients inside an operating theatre. People recording the video are heard suggesting that the teams complete the surgeries as soon as possible, as reported by Hindustan Times.

It may be mentioned that the authenticity of the video has not been independently verified.

Firestorm across social media

According to Hindustan Times, the video caused inevitable public outrage and intense criticism on social media. “This is a potential lawsuit with medical licenses cancelled in the west for invading patient privacy and potentially infecting the theatre. No wonder the quality of doctors has seriously declined in this country, thanks to medical colleges on every street,” an individual wrote, while another user added, “The girls recording and laughing deserve the punishment first.”

Such pathetic behaviour during another woman's most vulnerable moments.”

“Nothing surprises me in Pakistan anymore”, a third person added. Another user stated, “Gosh. The illiteracy level of literary doctors is insane.”
