What worries me is...is being derogatory about patients any more acceptable when they're said in a private space compared to a public space? We can censor all we like, but we cannot censor a health professional's thoughts and attitudes.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-5261142755425084582011-09-22T19:42:12.813+10:002011-09-22T19:42:12.813+10:00the message is worth repeating, because the immedi...the message is worth repeating, because the immediate and farreaching records of our con versations are quite spooky.<br />Williewillie campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079686071039434056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-88287870717300303552011-09-19T18:42:40.350+10:002011-09-19T18:42:40.350+10:00Whoops, not sure how that doubled up there, but pe...Whoops, not sure how that doubled up there, but perhaps the message is worth repeating!Thinkbirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813359204378047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-63127805831717706172011-09-19T18:39:39.386+10:002011-09-19T18:39:39.386+10:00Hi Sarah, glad to see your comments on the issue o...Hi Sarah, glad to see your comments on the issue of professional behaviour and social media. This topic and conversation is crucial because words are so powerful. <br /><br />As Carmel Niland, former President of the Anti Discrimination Board said in 1992 in her Anne Conlon Memorial Lecture “Women, Power and the Political Process” to the NSW Women’s Advisory Council “Words are seeds. Whole worlds lie curled in them. Three words like ‘women’, ‘power’ and ‘politics’ have a universe in ideas curled in them”. <br /><br />And so too do terms like "labia ward" and "cabbage patch" when referring to places where vulnerable and trusting people rely on the goodwill of the health professionals working there. <br /><br />Never before have we had such instant and far reaching ways of communication that are indelibly recorded for all time. I suspect we are only standing tippy toe on the edge of how really powerful and influential social media will be in all our lives. We really have to think clearly about what we are putting 'out there' both personally and professionally. Call those of us who are raising and discussing the issues of social media for health professionals 'humourless old trouts' they may, but the day will come when they will be very grateful for the insights and clarity the conversations will bring to this subject.Thinkbirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813359204378047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-77746101730771092522011-09-19T18:39:36.656+10:002011-09-19T18:39:36.656+10:00Hi Sarah, glad to see your comments on the issue o...Hi Sarah, glad to see your comments on the issue of professional behaviour and social media.
