There are some clinicians who have been contacted by families who believe the photos in a slide presentation are of a loved one. Even when that has not been the case, the advice from the hospital legal department has been to remove the presentation or pictures. #MedTwitter

This has happened as conferences have gone online & information is open to the public. I am a huge fan of transparency & patients owning their own #data. It's also challenging when family members may have different perspectives than elder parents. #elderabuse truly is common.
The issues are that with the various privacy protections, if there is a perception of a certain patient's data or photo being used but it is someone else's with appropriate permissions, then there is no way to "prove" it to the concerned family. Why draconian gatekeeping happens.
In a world where
perception > reality
"narrative" trumps verified facts

It may seem over the topto ban screenshots
this is a protection being offered, often unpaid, presenters
