He went to the hospital looking for medicine and walked out with demands about where he was—and wasn’t—allowed to look. A Belizean-American man says he had already spent hours waiting for medical attention at Western Regional Hospital in Belmopan when he encountered a tense interaction with a doctor. According to his TikTok, he accidentally glanced toward the doctor’s computer, thinking she had pulled up his file, only to be immediately reprimanded. When he apologized and asked where he was supposed to look, her response was blunt: “Look front. That’s why the windows are open.” The exchange only escalated from there, with the doctor apologizing while admitting she was getting irritated. Now his TikTok is dropping names, with other viewers claiming they’ve had similarly uncomfortable experiences with the same doctor.
BG Junior (@bgjunior) was simply seeking medical attention to feel better. Instead, he left with a plethora of reasons to call out Belmopan’s medical center. His encounter with Dr. Camille Borland at Western Regional Hospital left him with countless TikToks on his page showcasing first-hand how he was treated. Six clips have a combined 70,000 views. His first clip’s text overlay reads: “Doctor yelled at me for making eye contact?!” As he enters her office, he politely greets her and asks if she needs his hospital number. As she explains why she doesn’t need his number, he peers at her computer screen where she is typing. She tells him it’s not his account but he misunderstands, so in a firmer and louder voice, she says, “This isn’t your account yet either. I’m still closing down the account before you.”
Junior quickly apologizes and tells her to take her time. She answers, “I see you mi di watch up ina dis ting.” He apologizes again, explaining that he didn’t know whether he should look at her eyes or her computer. “I didn’t even show you my eyes, look front!” she says vehemently. “That’s why the windows are open.”
As soon as she orders him to look ahead, it seems Dr. Borland realizes her coarse behavior. She says, “I’m sorry I’m a little grumpy,” but Junior interjects, “that’s mean as hell.” He then stands up from his seat and he says he no longer wants to be attended to by her. Dr. Borland immediately backtracks and mistakenly calls him “Ms.” when apologizing. In her haste, she says she’s getting “irritated” but immediately changes it to “anxious.” Junior explains that he’s been waiting to see her for hours but didn’t curse anyone. When she rebukes this claim, he says, “You cursed me smartly.”
Junior continues, telling Dr. Borland that he only wanted medication to feel better. Dr. Borland says she can prescribe him some and asks for his symptoms. Before answering her question though, he asks if he can look at her. Her response? “I’m kinda a little anxious right now ‘cause that was a lot,” she replies. “So I would prefer not doing eye contact.” When Junior responds by confirming she wants him to look out the window, she tells him to “take a deep breath.” He affirms that he’s calm, not her but she keeps repeating that it was “a lot.”
The situation continues a bit tense, even as Junior is explaining his symptoms. He gets a bit upset discussing it and says, “maybe if I could look in your eyes and talk to you, I can explain what’s going on. I feel like I’m talking to a wall.” Dr. Borland asks for him to give her “two seconds to calm down.” She apologizes again and says she’s never “had a patient like this.” Junior retraces his steps for her, explaining that he was polite for the entire part. Her reasoning is that he was not supposed to look at the computer because she wasn’t finished yet with the previous patient. At the end, Junior states, “just give me the medication. I don’t want to be around you no more. I feel like you’re bullying me.” Dr. Borland apologizes for him feeling that way and the clip ends.
It seems Junior is not the only one to have been treated this way by Dr. Borland. Many viewers jump in the comment section to share their own experiences.
One viewer states, “She also treated me bad once. Her service is very bad, and she was extremely unprofessional. Someone needs to address this situation and take appropriate action.”
A second one shares, “I’ve also had a bad experience wuth her even trying to tell me what or how to live my life like wtf bro ur a doctor not a councilor…A lot a them only there for the title n pay but I must say they do have nice doctors n nurses there as well.”
“That doctor has treated me like that before too,” says a third viewer. “I’ve experienced that same rough and disrespectful way of speaking, and it can make you feel uncomfortable, especially when you’re already in a vulnerable position because you’re there seeking medical help.”
Finally, one viewer states, “Honestly good on you for standing up for yourself & holding her accountable in the moment. I’m sure she’s spoken to other patients like that who have felt more cornered & hopeless & I’m sure she’s gone unchecked every time.”
The Deep Scroll has reached out to the TikTok creator via TikTok and Facebook messages. The Western Regional Hospital has declined to comment.
Update: In an interview with Deep Scroll, the TikToker shared how he had been to the hospital before, but was the first time he was attended to by Dr. Borland.
“Honestly, I didn’t expect that video to get the attention it did, I thought people wouldn’t relate, but then I checked the comment section and I saw how many people was expressing their encounters with Dr.Borland,” he said. “It didn’t make me feel like a hero but I did feel like I brought awareness to mental health and bullying.”
He added, “Never give up or judge a book by its cover. We need to be more gentle with the way we treat people. I also want the readers to read what Princess Diana once shared with the world: ‘I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved.'”
