Keep in mind these kinds of ethical violations (& more) were what Andrew Wakefield had been allowed to get away with resulting in two decades of vaccine refusal & disease outbreaks. Yes, @VascularSVS, the is the right thing to do - accessing a database w/out permission is not ok

When people talk of "privilege" it is exactly this. Who bypasses ethical standards typically enforced by an IRB (I am a former IRB chair, as is @DrvanTilburg). There were med students & trainees on the paper being taught/incentivized (named on publication) this. #AcademicTwitter

This is much, much bigger than one paper. This is cultural. The journal has acknowledged and taken definitive action very matter of factly. Why do I make over 100 revisions and other get a pass? Why disparity in #MedEd #education publications? #MedTwitter

At an airport my family members get extra screening. In publishing in #MedEd I get extra screening. When others talking of vacation plans & I say that as a Muslim, tho born in the U.S. I had some travel anxiety, I was told I was being "unprofessional", making others uncomfortable

On a CV, for promotion in #academia, my paper same merit as #Medbikini paper. I created curriculum to improve #traumainformed care for marginalized patients. Other: quatified number of times trainees wear or hold certain things #Medtwitter
What do we value?
#academicTwitter

#MedBikini paper dinged on "#professionalism" for "political" My very identity, my life experience, my patient population labeled as "political" - so is the purpose of the paper to tell me that my patients & I do not belong?

Actually, do hear that a lot
