#MedBikini : les médecins posent en bikini pour contester une étude polémique

A l'instar de nombreux autres mouvements, le corps médical protestant la publication d'une nouvelle étude démontrant que les médecins femmes qui publient des contenus non-professionnels sur les réseaux sociaux ternissent l'image de la profession, a pris la direction de Twitter. Un mot-dièse a vu le jour : #MedBikini, via lequel les protestataires, des professionnels de santé, postent des photos d'eux en bikini. 

le bikini en guise de protestation

La raison derrière ces photos en tenue légère ? Cette étude, qui décrie notamment la publication de photos dans lesquelles on retrouve "des tenues inappropriées en photos en sous-vêtements, en costumes d'Halloween provocants ou des poses provocantes en bikini/maillot de bain". Les professionnels de la santé, et plus particulièrement "les jeunes chirurgiens vasculaires" visés directement par cette étude, ont donc voulu combattre le feu par le feu en posant en bikini, pour prouver que ces photos ne viennent pas ternir l'image de leur profession. Les réponses des internautes ne sont pas faites priées, et soutiennent en grand nombre ce mouvement. 

Une étude qui ne se limite pas aux vêtements et pointe du doigt la consommation d'alcool, de blasphèmes censurés, de commentaires politiques ou religieux, ou encore de sujets sociaux controversés. L'expression sur les réseaux sociaux sous de nombreuses formes viendraient donc ternir l'image de la profession médicale, bien qu'elle réside de l'ordre du privé. Une vision archaïque de la profession qui a fait couler de l'encre depuis fin juillet. Néanmoins, cette vague de complaintes a forcé le journal lié à cette étude à s'excuser.

Now I know some of you may be thinking “wow she owns a swimsuit, how unprofessional”, but all I’m thinking is “wow look at my sternocleidomastoids”.#MedBikini pic.twitter.com/xOwXTV7p9Q

“Unprofessional Nurse” here, looks like for some out there the way one dresses dictates how professional one is. #MedBikini #drcandysurfvival pic.twitter.com/nWe5LYnBYa

Sexism in medicine is alive and well. Women in vascular surgery, I’m sorry that wearing a causes colleagues to question your years of education or ability to diagnose between an aneurysm repair or a headache. We all love lifeguards though. #MedBikini pic.twitter.com/QABFuKqXps

Just in case you thought me wearing a bikini has anything to do with how good or “professional” of a #nurse I am #medbikini . As you’ve probably heard by now, yesterday a study was published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery where some male doctors took it upon themselves to become the social media police and go through other surgeons accounts to deem whether it was “professional” by their standards. They determined that wearing a bikini an “inappropriate outfit” and holding alcohol in a photo was also a big red flag.. along with so many other comical statements. Overall the study is a piece of trash. Not sure who gave them permission to determine what is and is not appropriate for a woman’s body. Swipe to see the study .

This week a scientific paper was published in which male doctors openly admitted to using social media accounts to “spy” on other doctors. They assessed their online presence and deemed content like bikini photos inappropriate. Needless to say, this has caused quite a stir amongst both male and female doctors alike and has sparked the trend #medbikini . How this paper passed an ethics committee and made it through the peer review process is beyond me. But what I do know is that patients don’t care what their doctors do in their personal life or share online. I’ve always shared my personal life quite openly. My patients don’t care about my online presence as long as I’m taking care of them professionally and competently- which I of course always do my utmost to achieve  #medbikini

I’m a cardiologist standing in solidarity with female vascular surgeons today. NEWSFLASH: FEMALE DOCTORS CAN WEAR WHATEVER THEY WANT. ⁣ Female doctors, nurses, NPs/PAs, all healthcare professionals - we can wear a bikini, a dress, or we can wear scrubs. This does not change how good we are at being a healthcare provider. We can wear WHATEVER we want on our free time, and still save your life. Sexism in medicine is alive and well. But we won’t let that stop us. In this ridiculous article making its rounds on social media, the vascular surgery authors sought out to determine how many vascular surgeons had participated in what they state is “inappropriate social media behavior”, which they defined as photos in BIKINIS - BUT ?? NOT MEN IN BATHING SUITS. Other topics considered “inappropriate” were Halloween costumes, GUN CONTROL and politics. The “study” was written by 3 men who created fake social media accounts to spy on applicants. Is this a joke? Women in medicine: whether you’re a nurse, medical student, resident, an attending, post your favorite bikini pic/dress pic/halloween pic/anything today and tag me, hashtag #medbikini . We have to drown out the sexism in medicine and keep it moving. It’s 2020 people. Sexism is cancelled.*******UPDATE******* July 24th 6:54 pm EST — this study is OFFICIALLY RETRACTED!!  see the statement from the journal in my stories
