NC medical student brags on Twitter about deliberately harming patient who mocked her pronoun pin

[Anonymous]

Much ado about not much. I agree it was crass and insensitive, especially from a doctor. She deserves to be punished in some capacity. To say he's a "victim" or that she "hurt" him...literally anyone who has been to the a hospital has had a couple of needle sticks to find a vein. He's fine.

LMFAO. "Raise the possibility that WF doctors abuse their patients." No it doesn't raise that possibility. It raises the possibility that ONE 25yo kid was being a smug idiot about politics and deserves a talking to. If you can't follow the Hippocratic oath, get out of the hospital room. Etc.

Sadly ITA she will be canceled, all while Republicans gloat about not believing in cancel culture.

I think at the very least this is unprofessional behavior. Not to mention beyond stupid.

Exactly.

Ultimately, these are the two main issues: medical professionals need their practice to be above and beyond politics and, in conflict with this serious obligation, Gen Z seems unable to put their politics in a box and set the box aside even when it threatens their professionalism.

Right. I agree with both of those statements. However, I do not think that she did this on purpose - it's such a common occurrence that I believe she was stating it unintentionally happened and she didn't really care because she thought he sucked - and I also don't think she deserves to be canceled.

That is where we part ways, because even making statements denigrating patients is out of line for medical professionals.

Honey, if you think a doctor, nurse, or other allied health professional has never called you annoying once you left their presence, I have a waterfront mansion in Arizona I'd really like you to see. The only difference between other healthcare professionals and this kid is that most have the good sense not to tweet it.

Those of you defending her, let’s reverse the scenario. Let’s say that the patient wore a pronoun badge and the med student said something negative about it. Then the student missed a poke and tweeted about it. Wouldn’t you be calling for the student’s expulsion? Because I am pretty sure you would be, in fact very loudly so, which is why I flat out don’t believe you are engaging in a good faith defense.

Then I guess we part ways. Oh well!

I would not be calling for her expulsion. I would be hoping that the medical school didn't cave to the woke mob and "cancel" a dumb 20something over an opportunity to correct not only that student, but her peers. Just as I am currently hoping that the medical school doesn't cave to the GQP mob and cancel her.

I have a difficult time believing that you would be on the side of the patient in your reversed hypothetical. More likely you would be ranting in the Daily Wire comment section about how the patient was a snowflake.

I think the pronoun pin is dumb. Don't support pronoun pins, email signatures, etc. I don't think this medical student deserves to have her life ruined over a tweet.

Not sure that anyone is truly defending this girl or her actions, just saying that it's not the big deal the republicans in this thread are presenting it as

There are definitely people defending her.

Which, still not appropriate and deserves to be reprimanded but GOP news sources are acting like she amputated the guy's leg or something on purpose. She was cavalier about a common occurrence that causes no longterm harm. It was insensitive.

It’s true it’s commonplace to miss the vein and it doesn’t cause long term harm. But her attitude was beyond cavalier. She acted like it was funny and implied it was fitting, and served the fellow, who wasn’t woke, right. You would expect that she might feel bad, but she doesn’t appear to feel remorse. That is what is problematic for a future health care professional.

Exactly. The posters defending her or calling other posters RWNJ or bigots need to grow up.

Who is defending her?

Obviously the tweet was a mistake. But the response from conservatives is over-the-top. “Victim”?
