Knowing that Facebook is public, I wonder about the judgement of any doctor who feels comfortable doing it.
HIPPA rules will not allow my doctor or a lab to discuss my medical results for anything with my own family member, how does a professional decide it's OK to post my "family" member's XRay on a social website, much less make jokes about the cause of death.
I’ve seen medical IT operations, and HIPAA is really strict about protecting the confidentiality of what they call PHI. Personally identifiable health information.
An anonymous X-ray doesn’t count.
