I have a couple doctor friends, and they on occasion share to a private group chat anonymized screenshots of humorous patient intakes and reports, and retell stories of the amusing situations they get into and patients they encounter. There's also some tales of drama between staff and how silly some of their mandatory racial/gender/body-positivity seminars are.
They're otherwise more diligent and ethically minded than their coworkers in how they attend to patients and happen to be very progressive politically. I believe they see it as irreverent gossip about work just like any other profession, although sometimes to me it seems like TMI.
It doesn't shock me though, my grandfather told me stories of how at NYU Medical & Dentistry school he and other students in the late 1930s would prank subway-goers by leaving a purse with a cadaver body part inside.
While gossip to private circles may be widespread, I am unsure if public sharing is.
- lp0_on_fire 3y agoI can tell you right now that if I found out I was a patient of one of your doctor friends whose medical information was shared, even anonymized, with their friend circle for a laugh I'd be furious and looking for heads to roll. That abject hubris of that is astounding.
