Thanks for the visit Mel, I completely agree with what you have said. Besides, the patient has all the right to allow or not to allow tweeting while he/she is on the operating table.

Twitter is marching nicely, as long as the doctor can focus on the patient while operating and doesn’t lose his/her focus by telling the assistant on what to tweet, then it’s okay for me. I always believed that Twitter is good when it comes to telling someone quickly about whats happening but many youngsters etc are taking it too far now otherwise it’s a great service to quickly let any of your followers know about what u’re upto.

I see this as a good and bad thing, especially when certain information could be leaked. My experience with it was more texting, I lived 400 miles away from my fiancé (bf at the time) I couldn’t away be with him when he was going thru his cancer treatments, at one point he was 8 hrs away. I wasn’t able to leave work and my son for a week or more. Between texting and email his Dr. I was able to stay updated with his conditions and even trying different methods of communication when he wasn’t able to respond. I am for this 100%, my stress level was down and didn’t worry as if I didn’t hear from my fiancé for days.

@Ana: I think the doctors or the hospital needs an approval first from the patient or patients relatives if they can tweet the operation procedure or not. In most cases its the patient who requested for it.

@Jannice: Yeah I guess that’s the number one reason for doing the tweets.

It sounds weird to me but I think it eases the anxiety among family members especially with long procedures.

I’m not sure this would be such a wise idea. I know it already happens, well not doctor to patient. But doctors tweeting about their operations. It sounds a bit risky all round, and I can just see a law case involved in there somewhere. It’s not very personal, despite the fact that Technology is all the range where connecting is involved at the moment.

Same here C. But the one who’s on Twitter is the assistant not the surgeon or the one who operates on people. He just dictates what he’s doing and the assistant type it on their Twitter account.
