Another user complains: “Is Ms. Schlothauer trying to imitate ECMO ventilation with her disgusting video and her gratitude breathing?
I could just throw up! ”Nursing staff and intensive care physicians are also stunned:“ I am an intensive care nurse and have seen quite a few patients suffocate.
Being unable to breathe is the worst thing there is.
How can you broadcast something like that in public? "

Her intention with the video was to "mirror the society we live in in an ironic way".

Not having seen that was naive ”.

Users are of the opinion that it is not enough to distance oneself from rights and lateral thinkers.
For another user it is incomprehensible that Schlothauer was not clear “what she was making”.
Another user writes: “An absolutely life-despising video.
You can't get more cynicism than that.
The theater world is ashamed of something like that! ”Despite the statement, others would still not understand the intention of the video.
