Why would this erode trust? I really don't understand the line of thinking that would lead to be concerned about this. Can you break it down for me? |
Oh get off your high horse Pollyanna. |
If you see your provider in pictures like that, would you not be hesitant to see them again for some bleeding / discharge / odor etc that’s already an uncomfortable or embarrassing problem, knowing that they’re laughing at these things when you leave the room? |
You must not have any friends that work in medicine. That's going to happen wherever you go. |
Yes but seeing it posted on the internet when it’s your own provider is a whole other thing. |
If your chart was out with your name visible to read, then sure, that would be a problem. Otherwise, why do you care? |
| HIPAA violation or not, I wouldn’t want to go to a provider whose staff mocks their patients on TikTok. Not just unprofessional, but such a spectacularly bad idea that I wouldn’t really trust their judgment on other things. |
| Unprofessional and so incredibly stupid at best. |
It's unprofessional. They can discuss it all they want with their friends and co-workers, but once you do so in a public place and/or post on social media, it makes your employer look bad. It's disgusting and not where I would want to seek medical care. Apparently their employer feels the same and rightfully terminated them. |
Would you want to seek medical care at a facility where you know 10+ people on staff are that immature and uncaring about patients? I prefer my medical staff be kind and caring, and thankfully so do the doctors/owners at most places I frequent |
I would be embarrassed if my kids (or anyone I knew) did something like this. Someday people will learn that not everything needs to go on social media/made public. |
nah, making it public entertainment isn't "a coping mechanism". Making a goofy ass joke to your co-worker, privately, is a coping mechanism. This is pathological. |
And if I heard nurses/staff/doctors talking about any patient like that, It would be the last time I'd go to that facility. I'm sure they do it, but at least be professional enough to keep it private and away from all patients (and the public). If you cannot do that, I don't want to seek medical treatment from you |
Because I prefer to see medical staff who are not rude, immature, uncaring idiots |
This. If you don't have enough cognitive capacity to show some discretion and basic boundaries about posting "jokes" like this to the internet, you're too stupid to practice medicine. Honestly, you're too stupid to be around other people. Too many "medical professionals" are just overgrown, underdeveloped middle school bullies. I'm delighted to hear all these clowns got fired, and I hope they're permanently blacklisted from any/all healthcare organizations. Fcuk 'em. |
