Er... What!?

So it's 4.30 in the morning right now. Bear with me! - I actually finished this post a few weeks after the incident occured on Twitter.

As all of you've realised and known, I am very active on Twitter. I tweet. A lot a lot. What I tweet range from from books to technologies to medical-related stuffs also (definitely) including my favourite anime and manga. It's a place that I can trully express myself and thoughts running in my brain every single day. It's an escapade for me. 

I love interacting with people there compare to FB because it's not as personal as the later. Twitter is more open and yet, I feel secure there. I don't put up my recent photos (and I'm on the way of removing those I've had uploded!) and there aren't loads of my personal information there. Also, I don't feel like I'm barging on others' people TL if I RT mountains of tweets. You don't like it? You mute it. No harm done and definitely no hard feeling of unfriending/blocking. 

You don't know me, I don't know. We don't bothet each other, kay? 

Right? 

Wrong. 

Someone decided that a medical student like me shouldn't be on Twitter most of the time. Who the heck give you the authority to 'advice' me to stay out of Twitter just I am simply a medical student? 

You don't even know me for Goodness' sake. 

I learnt a lot from Twitter. I am definitely not the typical medical student that spend her time read books and slides and medica references. The knowledges are not limited in books and most definitely stick better in your brain when you discuss. And how I discuss medical stuff is by usingn Twitter. Most of the medica students I know that use this particular social media share their knowledges. We discuss. We ask qurstions. 

You dony have the right to kick me out of Twitter even if your intentions are good. Really, you need to revise on your Tweeting and advicing skils. Tweets like that would make people hating you. And do remember, the medical community starts with people that ask questions; medical students trying to get a better understanding by asking doctors in Twitter. 

You just recently join Twitterville and ought to learn the community before you get angry at people. 

Also, I do think a lot of medical students don't study all the time. They split their time between studying, hobbies, social life and anything their heart desire. I'm pretty sure you understand how stressful medical students' lives can be. And to study during all awaking hours, crazy aah? 

I don't rant a lot but I was definitely taken aback with your tweets.

I already unfollowed you btw and I'm really glad. Idk what was on your mind that day, but others who are in the same profession as you, are cool with me being active on Twitter. Maybe, even if they don't, they know better than saying anything because they don't know me, personally

Professional people like you is the one of the reasons miscommunication happen. Your tone, how you structure your words, when you interupt people- among the important things you ought to learn. 

We couldn't afford for people to wrongly understand us when we are here to educate people. Our profession demands that. 

A small miscommunication may lead to harmful effect in our field. 

It's the babies feeding time! 

P/S: Enjoying my oncall today! ✌🏻️
