I agree David, but the problem is 1000s of patients are being harmed, in quite subtle ways, by HCPs working in a defensive, fearful mindset due to harsh regulation - overinvestigating, overtreating, "just in case", which results in hidden harms. They are just not as visible.

Self-interest is universal in humans. Ensures survival. At the same time social co-operation requires honest communication and fellow-feeling. This too is good for us. Not sure about Twitter.

Self interest may be universal, but a duty of care isn't. That raises the bar of patient expectation that doctors will act in our best interests only, never in their own. Reality tends to come with a Porgy & Bess soundtrack however. 'It ain't necessarily so..'

Stanford experiment. Decent people can be made to do bad things. No excuse but it is true. Once you get on that road you have to justify it to yourself. Then becomes normalised.

And don't we know it. All groups are guilty to some degree, but watching such a volume of doctors working their way down threads selectively picking out tweets which suit their confirmation bias is all it takes to see that in action. Public opinion gets overlooked in between.

Haven't seen that. Don't disbelieve you. Judging what public opinion is is really difficult.
