    The board said Grawe, who originally had her license suspended in November, neglected her patients as she livestreamed parts of their procedures, spoke into a camera and answered viewer questions — all while the surgeries were taking place.

    The unnamed patient suffered severe damage to and bacterial infections in her abdomen, as well as loss of brain function from the amount of toxins in her blood, according to the notice.

        oof. I was trying to give as much benefit of the doubt before going in… like, maybe it was a consenting patient, anonymized, and it would be really cool for educational purposes. I’d love to see a livestreamed surgery where the surgeon explains to the audience exactly what’s going on and such.

        But this… damn. Straight up negligence

    Imagine doing over a decade of schooling and training, spending thousands of dollars to become a platic surgeon, making really, really good money and generally be respected by most people.

    Imagine that not being enough and you throw it all away in an attempt at being a fucking tiktok star.

    Sounds like she lost her license for reasons having to do with patient care in addition to live-streaming her surgical procedures.

      She also did it without her patients’ consent, which is a big no no.

      You can film patients, they just have to agree. That is how you get professional popping videos.

    Same thing happened on Brazil a couple years ago. I saw the censored videos published by newspapers and they were pretty disturbing, the surgeon was not doing tiktoks that could be classified as educational or informatives, but doing literal tiktok dances while the patient was opened up in front of the camera.

    Why is this in the technology community? This is mostly about medical malpractice, the fact that she streamed a video of what why was doing isn’t very technologically interesting or relevant to the tech field as a whole.

      A prominent social media app was the evidence for, and partial cause of, her malpractice. It’s very much a story about the cultural impact of tech.

    As someone in the medical field, I just can’t fathom the shear audicity. It is well known you DO NOT fuck with the medical board. The fact they gave her a second chance and she went right back to doing it. Wow, she deserves every bit of what she got.

    It’s so weird seeing this shit nationally when it’s so local to us. I took this picture a month ago or so. It’s a different company/person now.

      Only if personally identifiable information was made available. My understanding is that this was not the case here. Doctors are allowed to discuss medical cases, just not in an identifiable way.

      Not if the patient consented. My first job out of college was filming procedures in the OR for a private plastic surgeon for his educational YouTube. They had to sign a waiver beforehand though. All perfectly legal she lost her licence because malpractice not specifically streaming. The guy I worked for was legit af (top 5 facial surgeon in the world) and would’ve told me to stop filming it something ever went wrong, not that it ever did.

    Patients complained of severely negative outcomes such as infections, lack of followers and compulsive shitposting. They were duped into consenting to the procedures, believing the claim that she was ‘surgical with da tiktok algorithm’.

    I live in Cbus and this was such a bizarre story. I figured the ban hammer would fall sooner rather than later on this one.
