Read on Twitter
Yet we have people shaming nurses & doctors for “smiles” or for doing #TikTok & dancing
Dear God, if there is a shred of joy, let it be
In general, loudest #MedTwitter voices in shaming clinicians, are NOT licensed professionals on front lines

Examples of stigma and shaming of nurses and doctors - some of the marginalization of clinicians or any hospital worker is unavoidable but follow thread to see examples of completely unnecessary shaming (shaming, btw, is never the right approach)

Why I have responded each time I have seen a tweet like this - am deeply concerned by the idea spread that we should censor/silence/hide
+
unintentional ways silencing uses tactics of bullies and/or makes conspiracy theorists the standard

In fact @NodakEM is right.
The nature of conspiracy theories is not having logical thought processes and extrapolating things in extreme ways.
That is NOT the way a healthy brain works.
That is NOT the standard to follow.

Another shaming message
As if this is biggest issue?
As a Muslim woman + WOC
my experience: women are ones policing subjective nebulous right/wrong behavior/culture - be it Muslim women or white women
How ppl treat me is my “own fault”?
No

In fact, from @colleenmfarrell
Dance heals and brings joy and is a buffer to mental health impacts
Those censoring and silencing are contributing to mental health harms
To repeat, censorship is harm
Humor is healthy
Dance is healing
Dance is joy

Look at how this #Rumi quote, from #Sufi #Muslim tradition, is used by a #Christian based organization depicting a cross and #ballet
#Dance is bringing people together
Guess who hates #unity and #joy?
Bullies
They ridicule and attack to shut it down
Do NOT empower bullies

Who is NOT shaming people for dancing?
Black women
Who is most offended by dancing
...shaming clinicians for dancing & stoking online outrage + public “call outs” over... dancing..
..smiles?
White women
Stop this petty anti-joy behavior policing https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/18/opinions/white-women-stop-calling-police-rowe-finkbeiner/index.html

What black men & women know is (or as a Muslim women I know): we will never be good enough, perfect enough. Perfection in the U.S., UK, or Europe is a myth believed by white women who take it upon themselves to police everyone else on behavior. In fact: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/girls-who-code-healing-sisterhood-visual-album
Personally, I have been cyberbullied by white nationalists AND by Muslims and ..gosh who has NOT bullied, shamed, tried to control me?
Am too Muslim, not Muslim enuf. Too fat. Talk/tweet too much. Too dark. Not dark enuf
Your reactions to me are YOUR business. Worry about self

Those SO bothered by #TikTok dancing are NOT of #communities where doctors arrested for doing #COVID19 #publichealth work in #communityhealth - if you did your outrage & activism would stay focused rather than follow conspiracy theorists down rabbit holes https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/us/armen-henderson-arrested-homeless-coronavirus-testing.amp.html
The irony is that those trying to police others are making a public display of their *own* inability to have disciplined attention and focus in #crisis
Look, everyone is struggling
But don’t make *your* need for #control ....harmful to others
Stop suppressing #joy and #healing

In case you need a white man to give permission, here is Bob Fosse & Gene Kelly.
If you stop to examine you will realize it it “primitive” and uncontrolled, therefore “uncivilized” nature of dance that is triggering the anger and disgust and disproportionately harsh response.

This is exactly how seemingly “liberal” & “savior” & “woke” white folk, esp white women harm WOC, POC, Muslim women & men at times of crisis their out of cultural chauvinism + need for control
Stop it
Take care of/heal yourself before looking outward

This is exactly what drives out WOC & POC from academia & “establishment” settings, as @uche_blackstock describes
As a Muslim woman, not in any category that captured by usual #diversity metrics but a lot of the black experience resonates

When I saw this inappropriate baseless public shaming & censure by non-clinical faculty/staff
of black male trainee (who HAD done everything thru institutional approval + got widespread positive feedback)
Why speculate? Verify
I immediately recognized this pathway of bias

Yes, “optics”
#socialmedia consultants are hired by places like USC that have scandals
to control optics, regain reputation
Who do they really police? WOC, POC, Muslims, those with disabilities, etc
on the most baseless things like smiles on #TikTok https://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/usc-doctor-dennis-kelly-sex-abuse/

This is the exact opposite of creating safe spaces
or promoting #mentalhealth
This is all about protecting the institution’s reputation
which perfectly aligns with this
If institutional “optics” vs human healthcare worker
what is valued?

Whenever you see person employed by an institution talking about “optics“
be very very careful
they are clearly signaling what metrics they are paid to deliver
they will care more about innuendo than facts or evidence-based medicine

There absolutely are #ethics & #safety issues in #healthcare
I’ve had to discipline & remove credentials from doctors & nurses in #Medicaid
these issues are NOT limited to one clinician type
requires #interdisciplinary standards as in this thread
