7 COMMANDMENTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MEDICS
Social media is a gift for Medics but it can quietly wreck your credibility if you’re careless.
Just follow the ethical rules:
1. Patient confidentiality is sacred. “Anonymous case” doesn’t mean unidentifiable. If there’s even a small chance the patient, their family, or your hospital could recognize it, don’t post it. You can’t sustain your future on Elon’s miserly payout .
2. Educate, don’t diagnose strangers in the comments. Giving general health info could be great but giving personal prescriptions in DMs could be risky and inappropriate. Even the general info could be scaremongering.
3. You are still a doctor online. The standards from bodies like the General Medical Council, Medical Council of Canada and even MDCN don’t switch off when you open Twitter.
4. Please avoid dragging strangers and your seniors on X. Desist from public specialty wars. Tearing down other doctors for engagement is cheap and it erodes trust in the whole profession.
5. If you’re correcting misinformation, lead with evidence, not ego. We can always spot who is Calm not who is trying too hard to appear clever.
6. Think long term. Future patients, employers, regulators, and even courts can see what you post. Screenshots don’t expire. There’s always digital footprints.
7. Social media can amplify your impact as a doctor. Just make sure it amplifies your integrity too.
In lara croft season 2, hearing the yoruba spoken is quite appalling.
They spend so much money to make the film and they cannot hire real yoruba actors? Fine, lets assume they even dont want to hire... can't they learn the accents and language just as they do other languages?
