Debated on retweeting or not - this video can reinforce PTSD & sexual trauma
1- note comments about a male provider by those in healthcare: assume he is a doctor
This is a nurse
2- #womeninmedicine & male nurses face this bias often
3- this is outside his scope of practice https://twitter.com/shesinscrubs/status/1252647917824782336">https://twitter.com/shesinscr...

Amid appropriate outrage on the content itself that is sexualizing these nuances getting missed
There is a narrative that abuse is by doctors
yes, there *is* historic & current abuse by doctors
but to *effectively* address abuse & harm we must be careful about assumptions

I find it appropriate that it was a nurse @shesinscrubs addressing issue of professionalism by a fellow nurse
It is similar to how @HealthyWorkInst addresses #bullying in healthcare, including nurse on nurse bullying
Doctors could learn a lot from that kind of self policing

Fact is some images are more powerful than others
a white male in scrubs or a white coat = authority
in a way that a woman or minority never will
This is an uncomfortable truth for many. It is well established, however

Erosion of trust in healthcare professionals overall is significant today especially for #covid19 #FlattenTheCurve
erosion of trust in doctors is particularly important

I am especially concerned about the #mentalhealth of all #HCP and clinicians right now, as well as those who work at front lines and may experience stigma. Illustrative tweets from @NursePatMacRN
Now imagine if it were hospital cleaning staff, at lowest level of hierarchy?

Meanwhile politicians are shaming #healthcare staff instead of doing their own jobs
my responses to the suggestion that
adhering to #safety standards to *prevent* disease transmission in #hospitals is not our job?
Respecting #clinicians means respecting #quality standards

Then turf wars - where some clinicians align with nativism & anti-immigrant sentiment - to self promote, like this poster/marketing campaign to hire “made in America” PAs (instead of immigrant physicians)
= #healthcare *not* a safe space for #minorityhealth or immigrants
= #healthcare *not* a safe space for #minorityhealth or immigrants
This is not new & existed pre- #COVID19 #pandemic
Is disheartening to see marketing campaigns during a pandemic leverage xenophobia. It harms #interdisciplinary #teamwork
Most importantly, is a threat to #safety of patients

Something that has not been talked about as we move towards #interdisciplinary #teamwork:
how #professionalism gets defined & policed across different clinician types
This is an interesting piece from a #nursing journal on what “patient #advocacy” means

Was deeply concerned by public shaming for “smiles”
of a black physician trainee who *had* followed all rules
by a marketing professional who lacks relevant training, experience, licensure
+
not citing any valid standard
+
denying #mentalhealth stresses & implicit bias

In fact, as per @colleenmfarrell a leading voice on trainees, #MedEd, #MedTwitter work hours, #bullying in #healthcare, dancing and posts on @SoMe have a clear influence on morale and #mentalhealth when under unusual stresses during #covid19 #pandemic

I have seen many calls & shaming within #MedTwitter for #censorship of physicians, nurses, trainees & #HCP to get off of #socialmedia or #TikTok during the #pandemic
to self silence
No
Yes to: valid #interdisciplinary standards-based, culturally respectful approaches to #SoMe

We HAVE licensed clinicians & communication experts within #MedTwitter
Do NOT allow paid non-clinical consultants trained in corporate marketing working for administrators to police
police ourselves @JulieSilverMD @mclemoremr @shesinscrubs @DrToddWo @ZDoggMD @HealthyWorkInst

When served as #Medicaid med director, had disciplinary authority over all #healthcare #providers
When I went back to #academia + clinical, #MedEd + #hospital silos prevent #interdisciplinary standards
= loopholes for bullies
We are failing our #trainees
