This meme stems from a viral and highly controversial TikTok video posted by a healthcare worker who recorded herself performing a choreographed dance while a patient appeared to be hyperventilating or in distress in the background. The video sparked widespread backlash regarding medical ethics and professionalism, but it quickly evolved into a template for cringe culture and dark humor. Internet users utilize the format to mock situations where someone is inappropriately performing or seeking clout during a serious crisis. It symbolizes the disconnect between social media performance and real-world consequences.
