Twittering Docs
Social networking is infiltrating the OR. These doctors decided to post tweets about the removal of a cancerous tumor from a man’s kidney. After some uncertainty, which was shared with the world via Twitter, all turned out well. I wish we could get some perspective from the the hospital’s lawyers and the patient? I’m interested in what their thought were on this. I wonder if the surgeons had a reference librarian on their IM buddy list… just in case they had a question during surgery.
Maybe you can ask your doctor to update your Facebook status during your next surgery as well!
