A TikTok video posted by Lia (@lia.living) shows her confronting a doctor in a Georgia medical office after she says she overheard him and a nurse laughing at her. The clip, which has gained over eleven million views, begins with Lia asking, “Are you talking about me?” as the doctor and a woman behind the reception counter turn toward the camera.
On-screen text in the video states, “I overheard the doctor laughing at me with the nurse after my physical exam,” and lists the doctor’s name and address. The doctor walks toward the camera while saying, “No, no, no.” Lia then says, “It’s funny because I can’t give you 7 drops of urine?” The doctor continues approaching and repeats “No, no, no,” before Lia shouts “Yes!” and “Don’t touch me!” as his hand comes close to the lens.
Lia wrote in the video caption, “I feel so violated.” She said she overheard them laughing at her because they thought she was already gone, and that she was there for a physical. She added that the doctor was unaware she was a new patient and was dismissive during the appointment. She also stated that she lost her dad to cancer the previous month and called the lack of professionalism “sickening.”
Patient describes appointment and recorded exchange
In the video, Lia sits in her car and explains that the doctor discussed with the nurse that she could not provide a urine sample. She said she drank a whole bottle of water while there but only caught the end of the conversation. She added that he shrugged off her opinions during the visit and called the behavior “discriminatory.” Similar complaints about dismissed patients came up when viewers reacted to a doctor telling paralyzed woman to walk.
Lia held up a business card reading “John Y. Shih, DO, FAAFP” and stated the address as “960 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Suwanee, Georgia.” She said twice, “I will not be back,” and told viewers that people deserve to know not to go to this person. She emphasized, “Mind you, I don’t do any drugs,” and said she followed the steps she was given.
Inside the office, Lia confronted the doctor again, saying he was “very matter-of-fact,” did not introduce himself, and questioned whether she knew her diagnosis. She claimed he said something like “oh, you don’t know” and “I’ve never heard of that” regarding the urine sample. She stated she was dehydrated and on her menstrual cycle, and that the reaction felt “very racist and very discriminatory.”
The doctor replied, “I’m sorry” at one point. Lia responded that she is “a doctor as well” and is surrounded by medical professionals. She told him she already recorded the conversation and asked why he would talk about patients that way. She said she went to her car for more water and that staff suggested the water fountain.
Lia told the doctor not to apologize for how she feels but for what he said about clients. He responded that he apologizes for that. She also described the office as “very unprofessional” and “very disorganized,” saying the door was open and she was told to undress while he was in the room with his back turned. She later asked the receptionist for a copy of her blood work to be emailed and about the appointment cost.
Many viewers focused on the doctor’s reaction and the conversation about the urine sample. Some pointed to the clinic’s online reputation, with one writing, “His Google reviews are terrible.” Others questioned the decision to discuss a patient’s situation at the front desk. One commenter wrote, “why is he discussing with a receptionist!!! disgusting.”
Several people addressed the apology itself. One viewer noted that the doctor “couldn’t even apologize properly.” Another said the situation seemed common, writing, “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.”
A separate comment suggested filing a report, stating, “Hippa violation report them asap.” Federal rules under HIPAA allow health care providers to share a patient’s protected health information for treatment, payment, and certain day-to-day operations without getting the patient’s permission first.
That can include a doctor talking with staff about a patient’s care. The rules do not treat every such conversation as a violation, but they still require providers to limit what is shared and follow other privacy protections.
In Georgia, patients who believe a doctor acted unprofessionally or provided care below accepted standards can file a complaint with the Georgia Composite Medical Board. The board accepts complaints online or by mail and prefers that people use its official form. It generally asks for signed complaints so the doctor can respond, though it makes limited exceptions in serious cases.
At the time of the report, neither the doctor nor the clinic has issued a public statement addressing Lia’s account. No additional updates on the matter have been reported. Attack of the Fanboy could not independently verify the claim Lia has made in her video.
