Selfie Loving Surgeons Are Slammed After Taking Photo With Newborn Baby

A group of selfie loving surgeons in Mexico have been slammed after taking a snap with a baby that they had just delivered.

The ill-advised snap is believed to have been taken in the delivery room at the general hospital of the city of Calpulalpan, in the central-east Mexican state of Tiaxcala.

The controversial photo was uploaded by Facebook user Ramon Villegas, alongside the caption: ‘How professional! Whilst one worries about their wife and new baby, hospital professionals are without ethics in the general hospital of Calpulalpan.’

In the photo, three men in blue scrubs and face-masks are seen looking at the camera as one of them holds the tiny infant over the shoulder of the doctor in the middle.

Ramon even asked for Facebook users to share the photo, in the hope that the doctors involved are identified and punished.

He wrote: ‘Share so that everybody knows what kind of people work there, hopefully the directors will see it and they will be dismissed.’

It’s not known how Villegas is connected to the hospital, or indeed the baby.

But while it has attracted furore, others have supported the surgeons - and say that they are just celebrating new life.

J.d. Paredes wrote: ‘I do not see the problem, the doctors are proud to have brought a life into the world and they want to celebrate it. The media writes that they hold it up “like a trophy”, as if they are trying to further degrade an insignificant act.

‘If you think it’s of bad taste that’s fair enough, but all babies are ugly when they are born. I think this is the year that everybody is offended by everything.’
