Later he saw standing on the nameplate Zwarte Piet instead of the name of his nephew. When he went in to talk, told the hospital that it was a joke between colleagues.
The message of Bouharrou went like wildfire on Facebook. Many people expressed their horror at the nameplate. “I am happy that many people do not find this funny,” Bouharrou said in a reaction against RTL Nieuws. “Well I find it very annoying that people together in the reactions themselves again accused of racism.”
Sorry
The Jeroen Bosch Hospital has since apologized. According to the hospital, it is a misunderstanding. “The digital signs in the room did not work properly and to test them there in two empty rooms ‘blame’ and ‘Santa Claus’ put down. One was later rushed to a baby in the room where ‘blame’ stood by ‘the hospital wrote on Facebook.
They would not have immediately changed the name because they were busy taking care of the baby.
