1. It’s highly unprofessional for an attending to weaponize “unprofessionalism” to intimidate a medical student who called her out for punching down on other medical trainees on social media.

2. I was hoping to avoid publicly calling @kari_jerge out like this. That’s why I DM’d her to privately explain the impact of her words from the perspective of a neutral medical trainee.

I was hoping we could reach some common ground. Sadly, she chose to simply block me as well.

3. So, I’m asking other attendings to please reach out to her. It appears that she is unwilling to tolerate any critique of her conduct from a medical trainee. But perhaps she will listen to another attending like herself.

Here are the screen caps of our DMs, for your reference.

4. The cult of authority is undermining professionalism in #MedEd.

This is why we’re terrified of you. Doesn’t matter how nice you are — you could ruin us with a phone call if you chose to.

I urge every attending to reflect on the replies in this thread:
