Excellent advice!

I looked at the photo on Snopes. It took me less than 5 seconds to determine that it's fake. No self-respecting nurse would have assembled the configuration of lines and tubes visible in the fake photo.

If that patient was a real person and woke up, they'd immediately strangle themselves, trying to get out of that convoluted mess. Probably believing, in their cognitively compromised state of mind, that they had been captured by a spider.
