How Doctors Learn About Social Media

June 3, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Recently a contentious public exchange over the diagnosis and management of surgical condition lead a young physician to leave Twitter. For some, watching this doctor virtually vaporize was the equivalent of losing a colleague.

Doctors Need a Webspace to Call Home

May 6, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

For years I have argued that doctors need webspace to park their ideas. A place that is relatively permanent. A place with an address where ideas can live and people can go. A place to call your own. This should be the home base of your digital map. But in 2020 few doctors maintain sites that are their own. Ideas have taken the shape of Twitter threads — long ...

This from Ian Bogost on Twitter this morning: I am not sure these ‘decade-in-review’ tweetstorm summaries work once you’re not in your 20’s/30’s. Eventually you’re just ... living your life.

Twitter’s Narrative Correction

July 6, 2019 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

On July 3rd I shared an image from an Independence Day celebration that’s a tradition in my home town. A colleague replied that celebration is difficult when children are in cages. On the morning of the 4th I opened Twitter to a short clip of a woman sobbing with the suggestion that the American flag is ‘bathed in our blood.’ Laurence Scott tells the story of a ...

As doctors grow in numbers on Twitter we tend to collect in silos based on ideology, etc. But know you’ve reached critical mass when we can curate tweets based on perceived generational differences among physicians. Check out #oldmedtwitter.  Social media can be remarkably powerful. It can bring us together as well as pull us apart. Time will tell ...
