PATIENTS awaiting emergency treatment at hospital were left stunned after an adult film was played at full volume in a waiting area.
Porn Plays in Belgium Hospital Waiting Room
David Dartevelle, from Liege in Belgium, had accompanied an ill friend to his local hospital's A&E centre when he saw the sexual explicit film playing on a TV.
The embarrassing incident unfolded in the early hours of Sunday morning while patients waited for treatment.
He immediately started to record the event and his video has received over 30,000 views since being posted on YouTube.
Mr Dartevelle warned a nurse who entered the room at the Bois de l'Abbaye hospital in Seraing about the inappropriate film.
The patient’s friend was concerned because the 24-hour hospital clinic also functioned as a paediatric centre for young children.
Mr Dartevelle has hit out the hospital for lacking professionalism.
He said: "I thought it was funny at first, but I thought that it should not take place because this place is also a centre for children.

"If I had been there with my son, this would not make me laugh."
He said the incident was unbecoming of a facility which is "a serious hospital".
One viewer of the video commented that nurses "don’t have time to change the channel while at work".
Another that it was no coincidence that the graphic film was playing in the emergency treatment area.
