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?

+1. In a land where states are removing mandates for school kids to be vaccinated against highly contagious diseases and where many people lack health insurance, this is not on my list of concerns.

It is many heads from the same beast and speaks to current culture. Eroding patients’ trust in the health care system will only make the issues you say you care about worse.

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?

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?

Because I prefer to see medical staff who are not rude, immature, uncaring idiots
