dr chaudhary md if you were
[3]
true he for she then you must speak up
[6]
against this disturbing study
[8]
three men created fake social media
[10]
accounts to purposefully spy on
[12]
applicants
[14]
worse they are shaming our women
[16]
physician colleagues
[17]
for wearing bikinis med twitter
[21]
med bikini retraction this is a study we
[24]
got to talk about
[25]
on this week's wednesday checkup
[30]
there was a study published late last
[32]
year that wanted to take a look at the
[34]
unprofessional behavior or the potential
[37]
on professional behavior on social media
[39]
by young vascular doctors so what they
[41]
did was they compiled a list
[43]
of recently trained vascular surgeons
[46]
specifically young ones
[47]
they scoured their social media profiles
[49]
facebook instagram twitter
[51]
interestingly they had three male
[53]
individuals do this scouring which
[55]
kind of creates a bias but we'll discuss
[57]
that in a bit and what they found was
[60]
about 25 of these young doctors that
[64]
they
[64]
looked at had quote unquote potentially
[67]
unprofessional behavior or clearly
[70]
unprofessional behavior and the reason i
[73]
point out these two definitions
[74]
is because it's going to make a big big
[76]
difference as to the utility
[78]
honesty integrity everything about this
[81]
study
[81]
let's define those terms the study
[83]
defines clearly unprofessional content
[86]
as health insurance portability
[88]
accountability act violations that's
[90]
hipaa violations
[91]
patient privacy violations intoxicated
[94]
appearance
[94]
unlawful behavior possession of drugs or
[97]
drug paraphernalia and
[98]
uncensored profanity or offensive
[100]
comments about colleagues
[102]
work or patience i think you and i will
[104]
both agree
[105]
that's clearly unprofessional behavior
[107]
shouldn't talk bad about your patients
[109]
or colleagues you shouldn't be doing
[110]
illegal
[111]
acts or drugs or anything like that and
[113]
your patient's privacy is of
[115]
utmost importance does not belong
[116]
anywhere on social media all of these
[118]
make sense
[119]
but they had to include this list of
[122]
potentially unprofessional pieces of
[125]
content and the way that they
[127]
define potentially unprofessional
[130]
content
[130]
is as follows holding or consuming
[134]
alcohol inappropriate attire censored
[136]
profanity controversial political or
[139]
religious comments
[140]
and controversial social topics this
[142]
definition
[144]
is what completely delegitimizes this
[146]
study
[147]
had they only include the clearly
[149]
unprofessional content
[151]
great people would have benefited from
[153]
the study they would have applauded it
[154]
but instead they've included this
[156]
subjective
[157]
heavily heavily biased portion of
[160]
potentially unprofessional content and
[162]
destroyed this article i mean it's
[164]
full of subjective cognitive even
[167]
gender bias some may even go as far as
[169]
calling it sexist
[170]
and i really do support them on that
[172]
doctors are humans
[174]
too the more patients see us
[177]
as humans too the more likely they are
[180]
to trust
[181]
us the better we can communicate the
[183]
more likely we're to have
[184]
better health outcomes for them this
[186]
elitist
[187]
super professional version of doctors
[190]
needs to disappear and studies like this
[192]
that perpetuate this elitist notion
[194]
really do us a major disservice in fact
[197]
there were so many
[198]
of my colleagues that were upset by this
[199]
study that there was a trending twitter
[201]
hashtag called med bikini with many of
[204]
my colleagues posing in their beachwear
[206]
which is a totally appropriate thing to
[208]
do
[208]
doctors are humans humans like having
[211]
fun they like going to the beach
[213]
humans that are of age that are off duty
[215]
can have a glass of wine and take a
[216]
picture with it and shouldn't be afraid
[218]
to do so in fact
[219]
i'm partially part of the problem i
[222]
remember
[223]
when i was going out i'm not going out
[225]
as often anymore but if i was to take a
[227]
picture with someone and i'm holding a
[228]
glass of wine
[229]
i would try and do my best to hide it
[231]
because i was worried people would judge
[232]
me
[233]
we need to become more relatable really
[235]
lean into showing our lives on social
[237]
media
[237]
you don't have to do it but if you want
[239]
to there should be no program directors
[241]
or
[242]
scientific researchers stopping you from
[244]
doing that and then
[245]
to say doctors shouldn't be commenting
[248]
on controversial social topics
[250]
you want to exclude doctors healthcare
[253]
professionals
[254]
on the topics of gun control and
[255]
abortion these are
[257]
some of the topics where a healthcare
[259]
voice is of utmost importance
[261]
as i look through twitter in the midst
[263]
of conversations on controversial social
[266]
topics
[266]
i wish there were more health care
[268]
voices there i wish
[270]
there was more health care literacy and
[272]
accuracy in these conversations
[274]
just in the last year of this channel
[276]
we've talked about racial
[278]
gender bias reopening of schools
[280]
political misinformation
[282]
fat phobia and even the recent black
[284]
lives matter protests as a physician
[286]
social media communicator influencer i
[289]
take my role here seriously
[291]
i do my research i want to put out
[293]
accurate info
[294]
surrounding these controversial topics
[296]
so that individuals like yourself can
[298]
make the best decisions for yourself and
[299]
your family members to say that i'm
[301]
acting unprofessional by doing this
[303]
i don't even know where that's coming

[375]

[378]
it
[379]
i am an emergency medicine physician
[381]
standing in solidarity with my female
[383]
vascular surgeons today newsflash female
[386]
doctors can wear whatever they want
[389]
and i agree i want the authors of that
[392]
study
[392]
to look at this photo of a doctor saving
[395]
a life
[395]
in a bikini and to say that this is
[397]
unprofessional
[398]
come on we have to be realistic we have
[400]
to learn from these opportunities
[402]
and understand that sometimes our
[403]
cognitive biases really blind us to the
[406]
truth
[406]
i'm really encouraged and proud even of
[409]
dr meyer
[410]
for leading by example using this
[412]
anecdote to teach us
[414]
about the fact that we should look
[415]
further than what a person is wearing
[417]
or what they're drinking to determine
[419]
whether or not they're professional in
[421]
fact that term
[422]
unprofessional has been thrown around in
[423]
my life so often i mean when i started
[426]
my social media in medical school
[428]
people told me that i should delete it
[430]
because it was unprofessional for
[431]
doctors to take selfies it was
[433]
unprofessional
[434]
for me to take pictures in the gym or
[437]
with my family
[439]
or at the beach i didn't want to argue
[441]
with those people i didn't think that
[442]
argument would go very far
[444]
i thought that if i believed in my
[445]
message to become more relatable
[448]
as a family medicine physician to my
[450]
patients that i would create a healthier
[451]
conversation
[452]
a more inclusive conversation and now
[456]
having the youtube channel nearly at six
[458]
million subscribers which by the way i
[459]
owe you a huge thank you for patients
[461]
who have never seen me before who
[462]
haven't seen a doctor before
[464]
were scared to are now coming in getting
[466]
cancer checks
[467]
they're getting their vaccines because
[469]
they've learned the risk versus benefit
[471]
conversation patients now know the
[472]
difference between good research
[474]
and bad research from watching my
[476]
channel and in my office i
[478]
see this happening day in and day out
[479]
and just to give you a final update on
[481]
this story the study was officially
[483]
retracted it was pulled
[484]
it is no longer a valid study in this
[486]
journal and the editor's statement
[488]
here's a little highlight
[489]
reads as such although the editors of
[491]
the jvs believe that the authors of this
[493]
paper were attempting to advise
[495]
young vascular surgeons about the risks
[497]
of social media
[498]
the review process failed to identify
[501]
the errors in the design of the study
[502]
with regards to conscious and
[504]
unconscious bias and thus the published
[506]
paper was
[507]
interpreted as broadening inequities in
[510]
surgery
[511]
the editors therefore decided there was
[513]
sufficient rationale to retract the
[515]
article
[516]
and i completely agree i think if you're
[518]
part of a legitimate
[519]
medical society and you want to talk
[522]
about social media
[523]
from a research standpoint please go
[525]
ahead and talk to some experienced
[528]
social media physicians there's so many
[530]
of them in fact i had a hundred of them
[532]
on my channel
[533]
talking about what it's like to be
[534]
doctors both in person
[536]
and online so check out this video here
[539]
or check out my conversation here with
[540]
dr fauci
