After being reported, I gave up completely

Summary

During a life-or-death resuscitation, I used trauma shears to cut open a male patient's underwear.

My fiancé then posted a video of me treating the patient's wound online with the caption:

"I know you're saving a life, but doesn't the patient's privacy matter?"

"And the way your hands were all over him down there… it just makes me, your fiancé, really uncomfortable."

The story blew up online. To quell the public outrage, the hospital chose to make an example of me.

I was demoted, my entire annual bonus was revoked, and I was given a severe disciplinary warning.
