Fan Calls Out Sid Wilson For Doing an Instagram Live While Receiving Burn Care
Although most of his followers offered support and well wishes, not everyone was thrilled that Sid Wilson did an Instagram Live while he was receiving medical care.
During the Live, Wilson was seen removing his oxygen tube to speak, which was frustrating to one follower. “Think I’d of thrown your phone across the ER and told you to put your own oxygen back in,” the follower explained. “If you can hold your phone you can put your nasal tube back in.”
They continued by stating, “What has the world come to where people find it more important to film themselves being treated and having an X-ray rather than letting the staff get on and do their job.”
Other followers had the same thought and called out the Slipknot bandmate. “Imagine filming yourself when your in the position and nurses are trying to do their job,” a fellow follower pointed out. “Weird..”
Another added, “Imagine trying to work on a patient but they’re more concerned with getting Instagram videos. Lol.”
