#MedTwitter influencers show hypocrisy (advice vs actions on masks). Agree:
“unpleasant comments are ‘the nature of social media’ and holding public figures accountable is critical when they are setting an example for their ‘millions of followers.’”

Compare above to Dr. Mike:
when medical influencers are “caught”
adds to public perception:
“doctors cannot be trusted”
“Another fan posted on Reddit: ‘I know it's your life and you can do what you want, but you have chosen to be a public figure.’”

Note: “#business” & “moving beyond superficial”
“'Is this.. professional.. taking selfies and putting them online?'" he said. "Absolutely. I can impact — instead of the 40 people I see a week — 40,000 people a week, a million people, through my videos”

Dr. Mike’s actions=
-just don’t get caught in your private party
-if caught, curate image again after
-befriend/?pay someone in “social media medical #professionalism” to speak for you & make excuses
A month before, this super-spreader party.
This kills.

These medical #influencers - both clinicians & the non-clinical reputation management apologists - are running a #business of monetizing the doctor image & mystique
But actions are same as b-school
Only there is no disciplinary process for influencers

Being popular & having “fans” for being “sexiest doctor”
Private parties in #pandemic
Describing selfies in hospital as “inconvenient” (then focus on patting care in the hospital)
is VERY different from being trusted
Public no longer trusts doctors

What selfies are frontline #clinician #HCW posting?
Other doctors *begging* public to distance
vs Dr. Mike says hospital selfies are higher “impact” than 40 patients a week ..by influencing health behavior?
1- patient care IS hard but is why you became a doctor
2-follow rules

If “Impact” as a doctor = millions of fans you monetize via YouTube, then DO THE WORK
Be the role model you stepped forward to be
Frontline doctors do NOT need more “doctors can’t be trusted”
Nov/Dec=when these variants spread & Dr. Mike partied
