Another controversial selfie in Mexico

A nursing student, identified as Coral García, from Xoxocotla, Morelos, took a "selfie" next to an elderly patient in an emergency room, and caused a strong reaction in social networks.

In the photograph, which became viral, Coral smiles under her surgical mask, marking a stark contrast with the image of the sick man.

The image was accompanied with the following text: "He is my new friend."

The reaction from the users of social networks didn't take long and most condemned her actions.

The case comes at the heels of a controversy generated by a medicine student from the University of the Valley of Mexico, who took a selfie next to a supposedly dying woman.
