'Like we're entertainers': 4 physician voices on social media misuse

Medscape surveyed 1,671 physicians across 29 specialties on physician misbehavior in its 2023 "Physician Behavior Report."

Here's what four anonymous physicians included as examples of physician misbehavior they've seen on social media:

"Doctors made fun of patients, under the guise of 'Top Ten Things Not to Do When You Come to the ER' TikTok videos."

"A physician commented on difficult patient encounters and included information potentially protected under HIPAA."

"They directly contradicted the utility of vaccinations in preventing the spread of COVID specifically, and disease in general, while implying that use would lead to mortality and disability."

"I see doctors dancing and degrading themselves like we are entertainers."
