Destiny, a traveling phlebotomist and California content creator, says a discharged psychiatric patient began stalking her during a temporary Oklahoma assignment. She recounts multiple off-campus encounters, including being followed on the highway and confronted in a mall parking lot. Later she found prescription bottles with the patient’s name on her car after he allegedly escaped a psych unit; a security guard intervened and she fled. Destiny says she has been fighting the case for three years, highlighting concerns about caregiver safety and hospital security.
Traveling Phlebotomist Says Psychiatric Patient Stalked Her for Weeks — Finds His Prescription Bottles on Her Car

Healthcare workers expect long hours and emotional strain — not to be followed home. Destiny (@desssstyneeee), a California-based traveling phlebotomist, says a short-term contract in Oklahoma turned into a weeks-long stalking ordeal after a discharged psychiatric patient allegedly began tracking her on and off duty. She shared the story in a four-part TikTok series that drew more than 205,000 views.
How It Started
Destiny accepted a temporary assignment that required about a 90-minute commute each way between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Working early-morning blood draws across roughly three-quarters of the hospital, she says she drew blood from a patient who had recognized her from TikTok. The patient was discharged after about a week.
Escalation Off Campus
On a later drive, Destiny says the same man unexpectedly appeared at a remote gas station and offered to pay for her snacks. She initially brushed it off as coincidence, but then noticed a car following her. After phoning a relative for advice, she detoured into a busy mall parking lot where the man reportedly pulled up beside her and stared at her until she sped away onto the highway and lost him.
Return To Work And A Frightening Discovery
To avoid detection, she stopped using an out-of-state vehicle and switched to a locally registered car. Several weeks later, about eight weeks into a 13-week assignment, nurses asked her to draw blood in the psychiatric unit. Destiny says she was shocked to find the same patient — identified in the chart as "Aiden" — sitting in the room, smiling and calling her by name. She dropped the paperwork and refused to proceed, immediately seeking her supervisor.
While Destiny waited, the hospital announced a Code Green. Hours later, escorted by security toward the parking lot, she discovered prescription pill bottles labeled with Aiden's name on her windshield and beside the driver's-side door. As a security guard inspected the bottles, Destiny says Aiden emerged from between cars, shouting her name and approaching. The guard interposed himself, giving her time to jump into her car and drive off.
Aftermath
Destiny later said she has been pursuing the case for three years. Her account underscores the serious concerns that arise where public online visibility, patient access and hospital security intersect — and highlights the risks frontline healthcare workers can face outside the workplace.
"I've been fighting this case for three years," Destiny told viewers in the first TikTok clip.
