This isn’t exaggerated. A recent case showed how an overseas doctor faced SUSPENSION and potential LITIGATION for sharing patient details online.
This is not about blaming or pointing finger, it’s about raising awareness and supporting all doctors to avoid falling in such silly mistakes
Here’s what every healthcare professional needs to know:
🤝PATIENT TRUST is our foundation. Once broken, it’s nearly impossible to rebuild.
Why this matters:
• Patients will withhold CRITICAL information
• Clinical outcomes suffer
• The entire profession loses credibility
• Your career could be at risk
What to avoid:
âś‹Sharing specific patient details
âś‹ Discussing cases on social media
âś‹ Posting about scenarios, even without names
âś‹ Sharing in private medical groups (unless approved clinical forums)
Remember: Social media is for:
→ Sharing general insights
→ Offering broad advice
→ Highlighting systemic issues
→ Professional development
Not for discussing individual cases.
The stakes are too high to get this wrong.
