Some selfies just shouldn’t be taken.

It’s a lesson that María José González, a dentistry student, may never forget.

As originally reported by Proceso magazine , González has spent the past month engulfed by public outrage after a self-taken image of her smiling next to a seemingly very sick patient was first leaked onto Facebook and has since gone viral.

The pic, originally shared via the instant messenger Whatsapp, contained a none-too-flattering comment from González as well. “I was on duty and saw a woman dying and then took a selfie,” González reportedly wrote, complete with an inappropriate emoji.
