A surgical patient posted their whole chart to attack me
This account was submitted by a healthcare provider and de-identified before publication. Details that could identify a patient or practice have been removed, and it is shared with the provider’s consent.
What was posted
A patient posted their imaging, medications, and our conversations, framed as exposing my "negligence."
What actually happened
Any reply would confirm and spread their protected information, so I stayed silent.
Impact
Watching intimate details circulate while unable to respond weighed on me for months.
Steps taken
I reported it and self-disclosure was not treated as a violation.
