The woman shared her ordeal on the website Mumsnet. This website provides information on pregnancy and birth. It also has a forum where women canspeak about their day-to-day troubles.

In the post, she wrote, “I’m a healthcare professional and fainted. It was mid-conversation, and I realised I really wasn’t well. So, I said to the patient ‘excuse me, I’m sorry, I’m going to go and get someone else’ (so I could go out quickly and get some air as I thought I was maybe just hot!) and I stood up, and while walking out, I fainted on the floor.” She further explained that the next day when she came in for work, she was scheduled for a meeting with a “slightly scary boss to discuss how unprofessional it was.”

An individual wrote, “I don’t understand. You can’t choose to faint or not faint. What would a ‘professional’ have done according to the person who wants the meeting?” “What could you have done to prevent that from happening? Absolutely nothing. Hope you’re feeling better now,” added a second.

A third shared, “Fainting is not unprofessional, it’s a ‘can’t be helped’ kind of thing. If you were unwell and went to work too ill to be there, that’s not great.” A fourth commented, “It can’t be ‘unprofessional’ because that refers to a behavior. Your body just did something you didn’t expect, and you’d just realized you didn’t feel well, and were going to remedy it when you actually fainted.”
