Health Care Providers post unprofessional Tik Tok pix

[Anonymous]

Why is it funny that there are stains left behind.
It’s people. It’s human bodies. People have fluids l, they’re probably being asked to sit without pants on the table.
It’s just not funny.

I'm glad they are getting such negative backlash and have gotten fired.

You clearly don't work in gastroenterology or in an ER.

NP. If someone works in either of those, they should be posting tik toks making fun of their patients?

I don't see why you're stuck on the Tik Tok angle here. They certainly like to tell funny stories to their friends.

If you’re not talking about posting it online, then your comment to PP makes no sense…

Some people in this thread don't understand crass humor is common in medicine.

But there are a few people that seem to accept that, but are saying this case is much worse because it was shown on Tik Tok. I don't understand that when the comments aren't traceable to a patient.

Lots of things that you would say in private are “much worse” if you decide to share them publicly online where anyone can see it, especially if you hold a position of trust.

Why, given that most of us know they say these things?

Are you asking for someone to explain to you how society operates?

I'm asking someone to provide a rational explanation for why the difference matters to them.

It's going to make a significant fraction of the public afraid to get medical treatment.

Especially women. It is hard enough to get Pap smears and freakin’ give birth without worrying that your doctor or nurse is going to make fun of you later.

There were consequences. What's your problem?

They are going to make fun of you later. Why does it matter if they do it to their friends or on tik tok as long as they don't identify you?

Maybe they don't have the maturity to be in the medical business.

Should we post tik toks of the "gifts" our kids leave us in every diaper?

That's fine with me.

So many young women are going to put off getting a Pap smear or going to the doctor at all because of this TikTok. I don’t think is hyperbolic to say it might indirectly kill someone.

You’re wrong. Yes, there is dark humor in the break room but that’s for unusual situations-not just laughing around a completely routine part care (which is what it sounds like what happened in this dumb video.)

What’s described is so routine that like some pps I don’t believe they actually found it funny. It’s like making a video snickering that the patient who just left turns out to have a butt-it makes no sense.

The tik tok things matters too because it gives young people the impressions medical professionals are routinely acting like catty idiots (which has not been my experience, occasional private gallows humor aside.)

I can’t believe some of your defending them. SMH.

Because it’s crass, unnecessary, and dumb to post it online. It calls into question the professionalism and level of intelligence that the healthcare provider possesses.

If you want to actively seek out providers who are more concerned with getting laughs from mocking you online than behaving professionally at their jobs, go for it.

Why would I actively seek them out? I don't care either way, and I don't understand why any of you do.

It’s already been explained to you why. You just have lower standards for acceptable behavior than most people.

I care because I’m in the field and I know that no one with a normal ethical foundation and a smidge of judgement and would do something like this. I doubt their idiocy is confined to this one thing.

Because it’s callous and dehumanizing to post this to social media, and people will avoid getting healthcare because of it.

Because it shows an extreme lack of discretion, and was done without patient consent.

Because if these workers had to undergo these exams in their training—and they should, for this reason—and then had any of the messes they left behind posted publicly for mocking on social media, that would rightly be called abusive, even if their identities were masked.

A lot of technicians also admit they avoid regular exams due to their anxiety about them. Maybe all of this hostility behind the scenes is affecting them more than they realize, too.
