Love, LOVE @NicoleB_MD for doing this. Shout out to @DrToddWo & @DrJCoftheDC too for their savvy outreach to youth patients- am especially impressed with @DrJCoftheDC of @OHSUNews as a role model in communities of color. @AmerAcadPeds #TikTok #tweetiatrician #Pediatrics
*This* is what it means to create “safe space” - no shaming or judgement, only encouragement, kindness, affirmation from a #tweetiatrician who shares that she too was a #teenmom.
Meet patients where they are.
Be a role model.

Am learning so much from @DrJCoftheDC of @OHSUNews - on engaging youth through new forms of #socialmedia like #TikTok and being a role model for #BlackExcellence here in partnership with @NFL players @NFLPA

Another #tweetiatrician doing amazing work on spreading good information in a media form that allows outreach to youth & young adults. Love how #learningmindset colleagues of my generation are about #SoMe @AmerAcadPeds #Pediatrics #communication

All 3 of these youth focused #tweetiatrician attacked online, sometimes by cybermobs incited by anti-vaxx

Sadly, also by #MedTwitter & #MedEd who believe dancing is “unprofessional” The latter reflects really wrong priorities + blocking youth outreach

Workplace bullying is already a huge issue in healthcare

“Thirty-seven percent of American workers are affected by workplace bullying (WB).. Healthcare organizations have among the highest incidence of WB across sectors.”

Add on cyberbullying?

Pediatricians have always addressed #bullying & cyberbullying
vs children

now are targets

doxxing, false reviews, cybermobs

While rest of #MedTwitter piles on criticism of #TikTok use

answer is not to stop dancing & smiling

@AmerAcadPeds #Pediatrics

As awful anti-#tweetiatrician #cyberbullying has been- up to death threats - understanding this new arena is essential to #pediatrics to care for children, youth, young adults. Cyberbullying linked to suicide.

Shaming of joy, playfulness, humor - which are healthy #mentalhealth coping mechanisms - needs to end on #MedTwitter

If something bothers you, look away

Narrative of “harm” of smiles?
False

We need *more* play frankly, especially #minoritiesinmedicine

https://t.co/F4Z6TMuA6r
In fact we need #MedTwitter to step up like @NFLPA did

to showcase and promote brilliant youth & #community and #mentalhealth outreach by @DrJCoftheDC during #coronavirus #pandemic #Covid_19

or of @NicoleB_MD @DrToddWo

From @AmerMedicalAssn on #mentalhealth in #healthcare for #HealthcareHeroes - open communication is one

We know will be a “second wave” for our patients & our colleagues/selves will be #PTSD even #suicide

We need smiles & openness

Defy bullies with joy

Love this on creative ways to find joy, fun, happiness, and to celebrate during #coronavirus #pandemic #Covid_19 #BlackExcellence

If system failed all of us, compared to results achieved in New Zealand & South Korea to contain #coronavirus -#pandemic, we need creativity in crisis to design the way forward - as described by @davemorrisisa with @EshipMIT at @MITSloan #Entrepreneur

Thank you @ColleenKraft for being consistently vocal 💪🏼💪🏿💪🏽

Let’s work on #tweetiatrician #advocacy training by @AmerAcadPeds to have more robust & effective strategies vs increasing backlash & #bullying
as experienced by @NicoleB_MD @DrToddWo, worse for #minoritiesinmedicine
From @bfrist on #LinkedIn: concerning loss of scientific #integrity by political agendas

#scicomm teaching has been to “avoid politics” = sitting in sidelines

why engaged #tweetiatrician were a separate species apart from other #STEM professionals

We need to be multidisciplinary like work with school nurse leader @RobinCogan

When I have taught official @AmerAcadPeds guidelines to trainees in hospital settings & staff member has walked by, they assumed “political” & “unprofessional” when per AAP

Marketers hired by hospitals can be new source of exploitation

They know that the most credibility is with nurses & doctors

So will use employees for marketing & extension of hospital brand

But quick to penalize same employees for own, personal use of #SoMe

=Value extraction
I mean, personally, I built my reputation outside of hospital activities

I created, as volunteer, used no hospital or university resources, paid my own travel or obtained community grants, then yes, was recognized internally after creating external success, like this:
Or like this - I do all of this on own. No one trained me. I pay membership fees to LinkedIn

If I were to mess up, I’d need to deal with consequences from hospital, licensing bodies, etc

Wherever I go, I contribute to good optics & metrics

Yes.. and more than offended, I would reframe to respond with: your obvious bias reveals you are not a person who can be trusted to apply standards fairly for good outcomes.

Bias = unsafe.

Not about anyone’s emotional or intellectual reaction.

About #safety & #quality.
Discussed w/ that frame w/ @becker_sbecker

Look, I’ve got “grit” & resilience & can manage my emotions just fine

But are *you* safe or able to provide quality results? Using my former #Medicaid medical director lens, low quality = low value, waste, harm

go.beckershospitalreview.com/scott-becker-i…
“Safe spaces” emotionally, yes - but safe for whom?

Is safe space code for protecting your fragility when hard, complex problems are identified & you must confront some unpleasant realities?

Hard problems are... hard
Hard things are uncomfortable
