OPINION: How Social Media Has Distorted Medical Judgment

Wed, 2025-12-24 19:00 +0000

In the past, medical judgment was underpinned by three fundamental pillars: honest observation, open debate, and the humility to acknowledge our limitations in knowledge. While these principles still thrive in the day-to-day interactions within clinics and ICU corridors, they have been increasingly overshadowed online by a chaotic environment that often prioritizes sensationalism over substance. Social ... Read more
