Glauc Talk: The Worst Social Media Post in Healthcare History?
Knock Knock, Hi! with the GlaucomfleckensAbout this episode
Some things in healthcare are forgivable mistakes. This wasn’t one of them. Kristin and I dive into the shocking story of a group of healthcare workers who thought it was a good idea to post exam-room paper from pelvic exams online. Spoiler: they’re not working in medicine anymore. But the fallout reveals something bigger, the fragile state of public trust in doctors and what happens when we keep shooting ourselves in the foot on social media. From trust erosion to the silent majority who never comment but always scroll, from a VIP invite to a hallucinogenic retreat in Spain (yes, really), all the way to an impromptu crash course on antihistamines, you’ll see how one bad decision sparks a conversation that medicine can’t afford to ignore. Takeaways: The Social Media Disaster – Why one group of healthcare workers instantly lost their careers. Trust is Everything – The word medicine should focus on for the next decade. The Silent Majority – Why the people who don’t comment may matter most online. Ayahuasca VIP Invite – The bizarre email that landed in my inbox. Histamine 101 – A surprisingly nerdy deep dive into why Benadryl makes you sleepy. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
