The Southern Regional Health Authority is urging the public to be mindful of pranks after a man had to seek medical attention recently when his hands were glued to the steering wheel of his car, in what the perpetrators deemed a joke.
The Authority said in a statement on that the prank, which involved a couple, required several hospital staff members to attend to the situation.
It added that the health system is already facing immense pressure, and pranks like these, which result in medical emergencies, place additional burdenS on the staff members and the resources of the health sector.
The agency is also appealing to the public to refrain from recording and sharing videos of healthcare workers and patients in public health facilities without consent, describing the act as unlawful.
It said a video was recorded as part of the prank and later uploaded to social media.
