Woman’s Tweet About A Medical Professional Who Asked Her Out Has Twitter Fired Up
When you go see any kind of medical professional, you expect them to act a certain way. You want them to have a good bedside manner, you want them to be respectful, and then you want to leave them in the doctor's office.
So what happens when a medical professional finds you on social media and tries to ask you on a date?
This Happened To Anna And She Posted About It On Twitter
She posted the message from someone who had taken her blood for a test a few days before and wanted to know if she wanted to go out sometime. What's your first reaction to that?
Twitter Was Divided Over Whether Or Not This Was OK
Some people were replying to the thread shaming her for getting angry at him for just shooting his shot and being polite, like that makes the fact that she's uncomfortable better.
Others Called BS On That
Being polite shouldn't stop someone from being held accountable for his actions, especially if it was something that made the patient feel like they weren't quite safe. You should be polite to everyone.
Some Thought It Was A Gray Area
Was what he did OK? Well, no, but was it wrong? Some people thought not. Some people really did think that the tweet was probably going to ruin that person's career.
But, Is That Really Fair?
As someone pointed out, this violates a policy that he should have known better than to violate. In the end, it is against the rules for him to do what he did.
He Found Her On Social Media
And, as it was said, her Instagram handle was her actual name, and her entire profile was public, so all he would have to do is a quick Google search of her name, which he easily could have remembered.
But That's Still Creepy
If this was someone that she was going to see repeatedly, that could become very uncomfortable for her. The fact that they met in the capacity that they did, in her mind, means that this is inappropriate.
She Didn't Like It, That's What Should Matter
In the end, even if you want to consider it a gray area, the fact of the matter is that it made Anna uncomfortable, and that makes it truly wrong.
It Looks Like Things Have Been Resolved
Unfortunately, the Twitter thread has made Anna a target for a lot of hate that she doesn't deserve. But, she did post a tweet saying the issue was resolved and that she told him this wasn't OK.
What do you think? Was he wrong to message her on Instagram?
