The cab driver was lured to a hospital in Madrid under the impression that he was picking up a patient.

Instead, he was greeted with a round of applause from dozens of healthcare workers lined up just inside the hospital's entrance.

The Spanish taxi union shared footage to social media on Saturday, where it has been viewed more than 11 million times.
