> Tweet: Is it ethical for a psychiatrist to take personal comments written by mental health patients from the forum he administers and tweet them? Without the writer knowing? With consent? Without consent?How would you get followers of Dr. Bob's Twitter account to read that Tweet? Do you have your own account (of course you don't have to answer that!) and a way to get his followers to read it? Or know some other way to get a Tweet in front of your target audience?
I suppose....you could if you asked Dr. Bob to Tweet your post....but perhaps that would be counterproductive and feel hypocritical? And I don't know if he would agree anyway, of course.
In case this is coming out weird, (not an uncommon occurrence when I write things) I am not being sarcastic or anything. I am genuinely trying to think through the logistics of what you just said about asking his followers something. It would be interesting to see if any of Dr. Bob's followers who are MH professional might Tweet a response to such ethics questions. I somehow doubt it, but I have been known to be wrong. Often, actually.
