Are you suggesting that you act unprofessionally every time you eat a Pop Tart? Note: this is my "got hammered after celebrating med school graduation" post.

It is one thing if you post naked pictures of your sorority (thank god for sorostitutes) underneath your letters on your house. Of course your sorority can pull your charter. However, the school can't and shouldn't let you go. They might be able to tell you to tone down the craziness, but then again, I have no problem with that. If you have a blog that does not identify your school, then post all you want. If you identify your school, or a particular person, it gets a little stranger though. Libel comes into play, and other legal things. HIPAA is even worse. At the very least, don't make yourself or your drunken, racist, sexist, or any other -ist exploits available to someone who googles your name. Many people are doing this prior to job and residency interviews, so you are only hurting yourself. Not many people are willing to dig deep enough to figure out who purchased the domain, so even a very basic attempt at anonymity will do. Good lord.

Geez the places these dumbasses spend their time and energy. It could be so much more productive if done right. If shit is wrong at your school, you have a right to bitch and moan about it all you want IMO. It's ultimately the only way things will get fixed.

They were afraid that I might say something bad about the university. What blows my mind is that if my med school actually gave a damn about quality they would work on faculty-student relationships and would listen to student concerns. What really gets me is how unprofessional some of the professors are. At my school, "professionalism" means "do as I say, not as I do."
