Risks and Challenges of Social Media
This article talks about the risk of social media in healthcare field. Privacy is a key factor in healthcare, we all have to be cautious of information we share on social media sites particularly medical practitioners, whatever is posted on open sites is publicly available. Confidentiality is important in healthcare, nurses don't have the right to share patients information with anyone without the patient's consent.

One of the nurses actually posted this photo on her Facebook page.
