Overview

  • The 23-year-old Sicilian student, Marzia Sardo, reports the remark was made by a male operator in the Radiology unit during a cranial CT after an ER visit for a severe migraine on August 21.
  • In a TikTok recorded soon after, she quotes the operator as saying, “Se vuoi togliere il reggiseno, ci fai felici tutti,” after initially indicating the bra could stay on.
  • Hospital leadership confirms an internal investigation is underway and says personnel from that shift will be heard in the next few days.
  • The video has gone viral on TikTok, drawing both messages of solidarity and a wave of insults and accusations.
  • Sardo says she plans to file a report with the hospital’s complaints office.
