WE GET it people like taking photos of food and themselves, we don’t judge.

But when you take a photo of say yourself and food WHILE in surgery then we have questions.

The Jewelry Plastic Surgery Center in Seoul is under investigation after staff posted photos on Instagram, that have since been removed, blowing out candles on a birthday cake while a patient lies unconscious on a table behind them.

There was also one showing them eating burgers, as a team while in surgery, you know how the old saying goes, a team that eats burgers together, oh, wait.

The AFP have reported a public health department spokesman as confirming the clinic is being

investigated “to see if there was any violation of medical laws. They may look into whether such behaviour damaged the reputation of medical practitioners.”

The clinic apologised on its website following the backlash.

“We are left devastated for causing such concerns among our clients … because of the senseless behaviour,” they wrote on the website.

“We offer our deep apology.”
