As the doctor emerged from the room, he glanced at the Urgency Map, previously filled with patients' names. One nurse blurted out, 'You’ve got a patient, and guess who it is? It's your mom!' The doctor froze, panic setting in as he processed the implications of what had been played off as a harmless prank. The absurdity intertwined with his growing anxiety created a moment of heightened synchronicity that felt both eerie and humorous at once.
The prank, coined the 'Apple Pay' prank, has been circulating TikTok over the last few days. The goal is to elicit some kind of extreme response from the target for the sake of a viral video.
