Rosario bragged about her act in a tweet, stating that she had double pricked the patient in retaliation to his joke.
People have taken to various platforms including Twitter terming this act as "unethical" and demanding a prompt action against Rosario.
A few of the twitter users have also cited the examples of previous incidents wherein institutions had taken action against the erring students.
Rosario's Retaliation Condemned On Social Media
As per a report carried in The Washington Free Beacon Rosario, who is studying medicine at a Wake Forest School of Medicine intentionally, stuck a patient with a needle an extra time after the patient joked about her "pronoun pin."
The report further states that Kychelle Del Rosario had tweeted that she was doing a blood draw on a patient who saw her "pronoun pin," laughed, and said, "She/Her? Well, of course it is! What other pronouns even are there? It?"
"I missed his vein so he had to get stuck twice," Del Rosario wrote. Her tweet was first reported by the Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok.
Though Del Rosario deleted her Twitter account after Libs of Tik Tok sent its tweet, an archived version of the tweet is still available.

After a Twitter user brought Del Rosario's tweet to Wake Forest's attention, the school said, "We are taking measures to address this with the student."
"Kychelle Del Rosario, the med student who boasted about mistreating her patient because he mocked her preferred pronouns, is on the planning committee @wakeforestmed's "Southern Trans Health and Wellness Conference." Wake Forest! Where you'll use our pronouns, or we'll stab you," wrote a user on Twitter.
Another user shared, "Kychelle Del Rosario, fourth-year student at @wakeforestmed purposefully injured a patient and bragged about it on social media in retaliation for a joke. @wakeforestmed refuses to take disciplinary action. #WokeForest #Abuse #Ethics"
"The Univ. of MN medical school expelled Daniel Michelson for defacing a George Floyd mural. How will Wake Forest medical school handle the case of Kychelle Del Rosario who gave her patient an extra needlestick for teasing her about her use of pronouns?" questioned another Twitter user.
I'll be keen to see how a medical school plays out an affair where a 4th year medical student in their school, Kychelle Del Rosario, openly confesses to abusing a patient in their care purely because of their political views. https://t.co/bvOdZiGuyx
