I don’t see their “offense” of posing with the urine samples and commenting on them as a fireable one.

California and the Federal Statues have patient privacy laws that forbid activities such as these TikTok videos. HIPAA could also apply in some circumstances. It also violates many healthcare provider professional standards and could result in fines or even revocation of licensing from various medical boards. You simply CANNOT post anything about a patient - or from a patient - to the public. Very bad idea.
