28 Horror Stories That Prove Not All Doctors Can Be Trusted

A few days ago, emergency room doctor Sam Ghali tweeted a very simple prompt: “Annoy an ER doc in one Tweet.”


It’s hard to say what motivated Ghali to post the since-deleted tweet, but when other ER doctors took the opportunity to vent about their patients, the non-MDs of Twitter clapped right back by sharing their worst ER horror stories. “This MedTwitter trend is going expectedly awful,” @SarahLerner tweeted while sharing a few sample screenshots from each side.


A staggering number of responses could only be described as medical malpractice, and most highlighted the exact dismissive attitude so many doctors were openly describing in the thread themselves.


Here are just a few of those emergency room horror stories that prove not all doctors can be trusted…
