Tatiana Kulikova posted a photo of a heart attack victim to social media with the caption "how I hate my job" while flashing a peace sign (or are they patient bunny ears) in a selfie. Now the 25-year old former paramedic has no job.

Kulikova also posted a photo of herself flipping off "another moron" who died. We're sure she'll be scooped up for another job, right away!

Yahoo reports that the families of the ill, or deceased loved ones are considering legal action over the photos.

“It is clear that while she was taking these photographs she was not looking after her patients,” Artem Golubev, a health spokesperson said. “She shows a callous disregard for the welfare of her patients, some of whom died after those pictures were taken." 

Kulikova was initially suspended, and then fired. Or rather, in terms she might better understand, she was sacked.

Somehow this is a lesson that needs to be repeated, but don't take selfies with dead or dying people.
