A viral video showing a woman confronting a Georgia doctor over an alleged conversation about her inability to provide a urine sample has drawn more than 11 million views, with viewers criticizing the medical professional’s response and questioning how he handled the situation.
The woman, who identifies herself as Lia on TikTok under the username @lia.living, said she overheard the doctor and a nurse laughing about her after she believed they thought she had left the office.
She shared footage of the confrontation, in which she challenged the doctor about the alleged remarks and accused him of treating her dismissively during a physical examination.
“Are you talking about me?” Lia asks at the beginning of the clip, turning the camera toward the doctor and a woman behind the reception counter.
The doctor responds, “No, no, no,” as he approaches her. Lia then asks whether they were laughing because she could not produce a urine sample.
“It’s funny because I can’t give you 7 drops of urine?” she says.

As the doctor moves closer to the camera, Lia raises her voice and tells him, “Don’t touch me!”
In the video’s caption, Lia wrote, “I feel so violated.” She said the encounter left her upset and described the alleged behavior as unprofessional. She also revealed that she had recently lost her father to cancer, adding to the emotional strain she was experiencing.
Lia elaborated on the situation while sitting in her car afterward. She explained that the confrontation began after she struggled to provide a urine sample during her appointment. She said she drank an entire bottle of water while at the clinic but still had difficulty urinating.
“He was discussing with the nurse the fact that I could not urinate during this appointment, and I drank a whole bottle of water while I was there,” Lia said in her account on TikTok.
She alleged that the doctor had already been dismissive during the examination, saying he did not introduce himself and questioned whether she understood her own diagnosis. Lia also said she was dehydrated and menstruating at the time, which she believed contributed to her difficulty providing a sample.
During the confrontation, she challenged the doctor over what she said she heard him telling the nurse.
“You were very matter-of-fact in that office; you didn’t even say your name; you didn’t introduce yourself; you didn’t even know if I had blood drawn,” Lia said. “You were questioning whether or not I knew my diagnosis, and you were very dismissive of me.”
Lia also recalled hearing remarks to the effect that the doctor had never encountered someone unable to provide seven drops of urine. She said the comments made her feel disrespected and characterized the experience as discriminatory.
“I already recorded it, so I know exactly what you said,” she told the doctor. “Why in the world would you talk about your patients that way?”
Although the doctor apologized at one point, responding, “I’m sorry,” Lia continued to question whether he understood why she was upset. She said his explanation that he had been speaking with the nurse did not address her concerns about the conversation.
Lia then turned the camera toward the nurse and criticized her alleged involvement in the exchange, calling the conduct unprofessional.
“I will not be back,” Lia said.
She also emphasized that she has medical knowledge herself, saying she is a doctor and regularly interacts with other healthcare professionals. She told viewers she wanted to share her experience to warn others about the clinic.
The footage sparked a wave of reactions from TikTok users, many of whom focused on the alleged discussion of a patient’s difficulty providing a urine sample and the doctor’s response when confronted.
One commenter questioned why the conversation took place in a reception area, writing, “Why is he discussing with a receptionist!!! Disgusting.”
Some viewers also pointed out that difficulty urinating when asked to provide a sample can happen, questioning why the situation would become a source of ridicule.
“It’s literally so normal to not be able to pee?? If he’s talking about this, I can’t imagine what he’s saying about other patients,” one person wrote.
Another commenter urged Lia to file a complaint, writing, “Hippa violation report them asap.”
HIPAA is the federal law governing the privacy of protected health information.
Federal rules under HIPAA only allow health care workers to share a patient’s protected health information for treatment, payment, and certain day-to-day operations without getting the patient’s explicit permission first.
Lia identified the doctor in the footage as John Y. Shih, DO, FAAFP, and showed a business card bearing his name and an address on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Suwanee, Georgia.
Lia says the doctor’s office did reach out to her about the incident. She has since put the video on private.
