A Muslim nurse working at the University of Texas Medical Branch made a video showing how she backs out of a patient's room if she finds Fox News running in the room. Fox News is a Conservative news channel and the video was intended to be a sharp criticism of the current dispensation, but it immediately drew flak for 'Nurse Ahlam' as medical practitioners take an oath to treat all patients the same without any bias.

As the university was made aware of the nurse's video, UTMB announced a probe and suspended the nurse. "UTMB is aware of the social media posts and is conducting an investigation. This individual's access to work at any UTMB facility has been suspended while the investigation is ongoing," the health center said initially.
