Working in healthcare is difficult, stressful, and occasionally completely chaotic because of the customers that come through. Alleyne Paige Van-De-Cruize, a registered nurse who shares her experiences on TikTok and Instagram, recently posted a story that left her and the internet completely stunned. It’s the kind of situation that makes you wonder how anyone is expected to keep a straight face, even with years of professional training.
As Alleyne explained in her video, she was working in an OB clinic when she noticed two patients on the schedule with the same last name. She decided to bring them back together, only to realize they were a mother and daughter. They asked to be put in the same examination room so that they could support each other. It was out of the realm of usual practice since the rooms weren’t big enough. However, the daughter insisted that this was how they always did it.
