A dental practice in the US state of Tennessee has fired employees who were involved in a video circulating online that ridiculed a cancer patient’s personal diary, it said in a statement.
The video, originally posted on Snapchat, was captioned, “Found a patient diary and now it’s time for a story lmao.” Staff members in attendance can be heard laughing as the diary entry describes the progress of cancer treatment.
