Attacks range from on practicing clinicians by lay people to attacks on trainees by faculty. #Medbikini was faculty teaching trainees & med students how to stalk their peers, especially young women in the profession. Attacks can come from inside, often as “professionalism”

“One of our really big concerns is that physicians and scientists who are women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals and underrepresented minorities are the ones who are more likely to be attacked on social media”
Keep in mind attacks can be external or by faculty vs “lower”

Attacks from within profession are under the label of “professionalism” to mask it being stalking of trainees.
Look at the #Medbikini “professionalism study” and compare to what we know of professionalism being inherently racist.
Even if cyberstalkers had been women, not ok.

Hospitals & universities hire “social media experts” to cyberstalk their employees, faculty, trainees, students. There is a silencing of scientists & clinicians who post inconvenient realities or perceived to be bad for “optics”, “reputation”, “prestige”

From outside there are these threats as was experienced by @DrToddWo from anti-vaxxers.
Those in private practice are “easy targets” for online mobs. Hospital employed “experts” do not offer help when this happens to solo practices.

It even goes as far as death threats like vs @NicoleB_MD, another doctor without large institutional support yet on the frontline of #VaccinesWork anti-vaxx fight.
Where are the “professionalism” faculty teaching cyberstalking when this happens?
@ZDoggMD helped out instead.

Black, BIPOC, & URM already navigate this #BlackintheIvory and racism in healthcare.
Now social media is a new frontier of policing by institution-employed social media stalkers, often non-clinicians hired by faculty/deans concerned about optics more than ethics.

And Black, brown, or Muslim women are often perceived as “aggressive” for speaking at all.
Even after death, a hospital will double down to blame the patient for her knowledge. Per reports, the social media was to find support externally she could not find within the hospital.

I am most concerned of bullying coming from within hospitals and universities towards trainees and faculty who are black, BIPOC, Muslim, Arab, LGBTQ, disabled, have mental health issues.

I was “lucky” enuf to train at a time of no #DEI, no work hour restrictions, no “empathy” talk -just put your head and deliver. Clear expectations.
Now: institutions set their students, trainees, faculty up to fail with
DEI narrative/optics
vs
their real values
