Your doctor is complaining about you on Facebook
Amy Dunbar, an OB-GYN in St. Louis, recently vented about a patient of hers: “So I have a patient who has chosen to either no-show or be late (sometimes hours) for all of her prenatal visits, ultrasounds and NSTs. She is now 3 hours late for her induction. May I show up late to her delivery?”
It’s true that we physicians don’t like it when patients show up late. So had Dunbar uttered this among her colleagues, those comments would not have raised many eyebrows. But her words traveled a lot further than the doctor’s lounge. Dunbar, it turns out, made them on her Facebook page, leading to some deep criticism for her lack of respect, and even calls that she be fired.
A recent survey of over 4,000 physicians showed that 67 percent use social media in a professional capacity. Many write blogs or use Twitter to broadcast their insights and opinion to a wider audience. Others have posted videos on YouTube. They are leveraging the strengths of social media: a fast, free and open channel of communication that is easy to use. But as Dunbar’s gaffe shows, many doctors are still trying to figure social media out.
