According to her, health care professionals shouldn't be portrayed in that light and nurses have worked over the years to portray a positive image.

"Dear @mrmacaronii, The Nursing Community attention has been drawn to your Recent videos promoting Nurses as Sexual object. It's funny until health care professionals start trending as "sexual objects", raunchy and uncultured. Obviously your comedy centers around playing with the mind of viewers by using sex*ually provocative images of endowed women (both subtly and direct) and though you passes some messages to those in power which you can call your own "sauce"...Albeit... This is uncalled for and shouldn't be taken as a light joke."
