Doctor Spends Thousands To Go To Wedding Only To Be Disinvited Last-Minute For Treating Virus Patients

Doctor Spends Thousands To Go To Wedding Only To Be Disinvited Last-Minute For Treating Virus Patients

There was a time when healthcare professionals were put on a pedestal for working long hours and risking their lives by tending to patients stricken with the viral pathogen during the raging pandemic.

In spite of their heroism, it appears doctors have become socially stigmatized.


TikToker Emily Long, a.k.a. @dr.ems, is a doctor who was uninvited from a wedding by the bride and groom, and the reason for the about-face was because they found out she was taking care of sick patients.

After spending thousands of dollars and taking precious time off to celebrate her friends' wedding, Long tried to figure out what to do next after she had already purchased a one-way ticket to the wedding in Texas.

"Tell me about a time you were uninvited from something because you work in the hospital during a pandemic. I'll go first...," said Long in her video.

She continued:

"So tomorrow I was supposed to fly out straight from a 28-hour shift to attend one of my best friend's wedding events that I spent thousands of dollars on and took my vacation time, which is very limited, to attend."

"And when I texted her this morning to let her know that I was being tested and taking all these precautions before I flew in an attempt to make her feel comfortable, she totally freaked out when she found out that I take care of sick people."

"Who would have thought that a doctor takes care of sick people? I don't know."

"So I was uninvited because I made her and other people I guess, feel uncomfortable.

She ended by talking about her dilemma.

"Anyway, I bought a non-refundable plane ticket to Texas tomorrow so if anyone wants to hang, let me know."

Long's video went viral with 4.1m views and over 590,000 likes since posting.

People were appalled over her situation and many Tikokers suggested it was time for her to find new friends.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
