Viewability test to check corranged’s theory.

I am in the general public on the facebook Cleveland Ohio network. Scoping for young doctors, I searched within the Cleveland regional network on the words resident and Case (the nearest med school). Looking at the first seven young doctors who show up (Kevin, Andy, Dom, Allie, Kenneth, Larry, and the seventh) I can see the full profile of the first six. The seventh has his limited so I can’t see it. But that is six out of seven not set to “friends only.”



I assume the profiles will become more private and/or more conservative once these students actually begin practicing medicine



Agreed.The notes on their “Walls” say things like “how was your move? are you all unpacked yet?” or “happy birthday brother” or “congratulations! when is the baby due?” The profiles that I can see are conservative. These are residents, not med students - a little bit closer to actually practicing medicine.
