A Nurse Toto which premiered on February 9, 2023 is a comedy series on YouTube written and directed by Eddie Butita.
The characters on the show include a receptionist who has a nauseating attitude and two nurses who are clueless and show reluctance to helping patients seeking help.
It also includes a janitor who is always selling alternative traditional medicine to patients at the waiting bay.
Butita explained that the reason why he did not restrict viewership is for everyone to enjoy the show and drive traffic to his YouTube channel.
