Med Students' Stupidity on Facebook

From what I have heard, the whole med-school process is warped- long long hours, few breaks, etc.

Maybe they need to look at at that side of the equation as well as the stupidty of adults posting pictures like that of themselves.

Its not about being PC, its about showing maturity, good judgement, respect for your patients, respect for yourselves, etc.

I wonder what causes adults to behave that way, to share with the world their recreational activities like that. Just because you can post it doesn’t mean you should. Why do they think its smart to embarass themselves like that, I just don’t understand. When I was younger, I did some “wild stuff”, but I just couldn’t imagine sharing it with just anyone on the internet.

Why do adults think its funny, or clever, or special to post pictures like that? Having them on your computer for yourself isn’t good enough, that you need for everyone to see how clever you think you are?

If I saw pictures of my plumber or mechanic doing things like that, I would question their judgement as well.
