While the world lives out its day on social media, with millions of people using different platforms to create content and share their lives, some activities should probably remain off-camera. Yet many professionals have begun to use these platforms to give viewers behind-the-scenes access to their work in the hopes that it will drum up business.

Unfortunately, this kind of access from the public, including internet trolls who just want to cause chaos, ex-friends who are still holding a grudge, and frustrating strangers hiding behind their keyboards, can lead to all kinds of accusations. These accusations can put your professional license in jeopardy.

If you or someone you know has showcased their work on social media and brought it up in front of their license review board because of it, you need a strong defense. Contact the Lento Law Firm today at 888-535-3686 or schedule a consultation online. Our knowledgeable attorneys are here to help.

Social Media Causes Chaos for Medical Professionals

Medical professionals, in general, are held to the highest educational and ethical standards because their work involves life-and-death situations. Allegations of malpractice, then, can seriously impact their personal and professional lives. For instance, a cosmetic surgeon in Georgia had her medical license suspended after several patients accused her of malpractice, including one patient who was left with permanent brain damage.

Apparently, this doctor became well-known on the social media platform TikTok for posting videos of her and other staff members dancing while treating patients. In fact, in August 2023, she was held liable for producing a video that included an anesthesiologist singing and dancing while a patient was receiving liposuction. After paying millions of dollars in malpractice settlements and having her medical license suspended, she went on to change her name and began working at a medical spa in another state.

How the Lento Law Firm Can Help

When you are accused of violating the terms of your medical professional license, it can be extremely overwhelming. Working with a skilled professional license defense attorney is the only way to quell that anxiety and show up to your hearing fully prepared.

There are so many unnecessary consequences that medical professionals can experience during a medical professional licensure board review, including having their license suspended, limited in some way, or outright revoked. Once your medical professional license is penalized, it can be hard to recover. Many medical professionals end up becoming stressed, depressed, and hopeless, resorting to unsavory activities to deal with their emotions. These activities can then make it even harder to get back on their feet.
