An Escambia County, Fla., nurse's video rant on this year's flu epidemic has gone viral and there's an online petition supporting her after she was reported to the Florida’s Board of Nursing, according to an article on the MSN website.
"There is a cesspool of funky flu at the E.R. right now," Katherine Smith Locklear said in her video, requesting people to not come to the emergency room if they necessarily don't need to, especially to visit others. "And if you don't have what I call a true emergency, this would not be a time to come to the emergency room."
"Wash your stinkin’ hands so you don’t get all your babies sick," she said and went on to say that people should not visit the emergency room with a fever if they already haven’t tried lowering it with the proper amount of Tylenol or Motrin.
"Watch this, I'm gonna teach y'all a magic trick, its amazing!" Lockler says in the video, before pretending to sneeze into her arm, covering both her nose and mouth at the same time, in order to demonstrate. "Let me show you again, in slow motion!" she is heard saying, before repeating the move.
