See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Blog No Evil

An article in the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) seems to suggest that it would be best for this site to shut down, so no one will  be exposed to unpleasant voices of  doctors who want to frankly blog about their profession.

From Mark Otto Baerlocher, MD and Allan S. Detsky, MD in CMAJ:

There are 3 aspects to this issue. The first concerns professionalism. Many would argue that physicians have both a powerful position and leadership role to fill in society, and must work that much more diligently and nimbly to acquire and maintain the trust of the public, including acting in a professional manner. Telling personal stories about individual patients poses the risk of eroding the public's trust in the particular physician involved, as well as in
the relevant department, hospital and university, and in physicians in general.
The second concerns freedom of speech. There are clear rules about posting or using patients' identifying information. However, limiting what physicians write about in terms of their experiences either in practice or in training, becomes at some point censorship. There is no law that requires one to enjoy one's profession and there is a law that is meant to protect freedom of speech. If patients have a problem with a physician complaining, some may argue that they could find another physician.
Regulatory and policy-setting bodies are debating these first 2 components. However, there is a third component — self-protectionism — where we wish to make our point.
Why would you, as a physician, put yourself in a precarious position by posting personal feelings, opinions, and attitudes on a public website? Material that may seem innocent enough at the time of posting may come back to haunt you at any point in your career, by any person
you have or have not yet met — weeks, months, years or even decades down the road. And, you cannot know who may have — or develop — a grudge against you. The people you may be writing about are patients with illness. They may be emotionally vulnerable or even unstable. As such they may seek to contact or confront you outside the work place.
Giving those people a permanent electronic record about yourself may allow them to pursue you in ways you will not like. Many online posters may consider Internet media as temporary; however, Internet content is still published, and should be considered permanent.
