I’m sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views

    Saying “This video is about a patient with c.diff” goes against the whole point of the presentation. The video is designed in line with vignette cases that would be presented in med school. You’re supposed to get the history and presentation and develop a diagnosis as you go.

      But the presenter already knows the details. We’re not livestreaming the event lol

      Anyway, I’ve changed the post to omit the channel names. It’s this whole style of presentation that I oppose. Even major news outlets started doing this at some point because they learned that it gets clicks. I find it ethically questionable, but clearly you disagree.

        It’s the viewing experience that’s the point. Would you want every murder mystery movie to be named “the killer was X”?

            So the only acceptable way to communicate medical cases is in 2 sentences covering the context and final conclusion? And the only reason for that is that they happened to a real person?
