"defendants…willfully destructed the evidence by deleting the webpages and social media accounts," Hanna wrote. "Plaintiffs cannot continue to be blindsided by the defendants by having to search for what evidence is being destroyed or altered”
LinkedIn is personal, not school’s
This is a really fascinating case as a lot of what I see happening in #MedTwitter (Twitter presence of the legal minefield that is #healthcare#MedEd, etc):
Personally, I have served in public office/as a public official for highly contentious $1.8b health reform - I am used to everything I say or write being examined, picked apart by attorneys & advocates & who not
No one is 100% perfect… but my words do hold up in court/hearings
Typically when I’ve gone toe-to-toe with someone who is an attorney, like in a public hearing, after they fail to trigger me thru ad hominem, the attorney either backs away or loses the verbal dabate/hearing.
I actually REALLY enjoy watching ill prepared lawyers get flustered.
As compared to my experience being direct & all my communication being on display or discoverable
academia/education relies on gossip as a means of control, social censure, shaming, warning against predators
Three Zoom, while online + answering emails & WhatsApp
Anything less & I fall asleep
Okay, I did burn out.
So not recommended.
Thing is, liability & sensitivity (now politics too) is VERY high in pediatrics, why pediatricians tend to wordsmith well (& carry tail insurance & coverage at level of neurosurgery)
This is NOT the standard:
-keep your access/proximity to power via a politician
-stay in spotlight
-use your credentials (& frowns/soothing tone) to gaslight a nation that deaths occurring not a concern to you
known for a collection of Hermès scarves…& now >700K American deaths
Those of us with immigrant backgrounds have NO idea what debt we owe these women for risking their lives so some of us can shop at Whole Foods with other suburban moms, then drive a Lexus home to ride on a Peloton, & think only our own hard work created this access to success.
In comparison, the black woman doesn’t have that opportunity to be paraded around as the most recent woman “saved” & celebrated - the tropes are universally harmful & exploitative/pejorative vs Black women in society/media + centuries of economic barriers/being exploited.
When I see this, and think of how a Muslim woman was denied a soda can given other passengers on the flight, out of fear of her look & belief she would harm people…
Anybody who says “the #data don’t lie” either is ignorant or manipulative or both. The data are merely a tool that must be used responsibly & ethically to try to approximate “the truth” …some of which is unmeasurable (yet?). There are MANY #datascience methods & varying results
You cannot build a RELIABLE house with low #quality bricks
First, look at the building blocks… meaning, how the #data fields are even defined & how the data are obtained
Who defined them?
I can’t tell you how glad I am that I have done coursework at both @MITSloan AND @StanfordGSB - Former immerses you in a ton of hands on analysis & options for analytic techniques useful in a #datascience job. Latter steps back to frame questions, assess missing data, biases.
After moving to Boston I found myself surrounded by highly anxious doctors. We have an over abundance of resources and a healthier population. I saw people quick to overreact and manage (poorly) their own anxiety & need for control, with harmful aggressive overintervention.
I also do get being “Harvard” makes one a target. Juries are not going to understand “at the brink of death” and not intubating or the equivalent action in another scenario. “Jury of peers” is not present in a malpractice case. Good care can seem negligent, paradoxically.
First: what was the outcome of the #SciComm? Intention matters little as communitarian happens on the terms of the listener/reader. How was your #communication received/understood?
A doc:
recognized similar scenario
calmed team
avoided overaggression
achieved a similar result
The fact that the #MedEd teaching allowed an EQ & #leadership outcome (staying course despite others’ anxiety), not merely medical knowledge/journal club, is striking. How was this achieved? Let’s look at the thread. How do you transmit courage AND knowledge via tweets in a 🧵?
