Welcome to the Nurse Patient Forum! Where REAL medical professionals discuss serious current issues in healthcare featuring REAL patients and their experiences. We prioritize facts over feelings. It's seems the new "trend" is to put feelings before factual, peer reviewed information. We will bring awareness to the dangers of parasocial relationships and how they directly cause havoc in the medical system. Many large "creators" influence their audiences to attack medical professional (in real life!), by finding out where they work and live, mass calling employers, simply because they speak out on issues they feel passionately about ie: combatting misinformation and false patient advocacy.
Digital Dangers: When Social Media Turns Criminal!
Today we talk a little bit about our experiences with these malicious people online. Everyone is entitled to a social media presence. You should not have to worry about someone trying to track down your location by identifying the building in the background or some other sneaky and bizarre tactics. We have to create more awareness around situations where people escalate their online disagreements to real life stalking and criminal behavior. It is no surprise all of the people we have run into are felons, have diverted medications from the elderly, assaulted police officers and one is even currently wanted it Florida. Not even kidding. Come check out what we have to say and how we are working to prevent this from happening to others in the future. We want to be a resources to those that need help in these strange situations that are not talked about enough.

NPF Episode 5: Is Social Media Causing a Mental Health Crisis?
Continue to conversation about how social illness is exacerbating and already large issue. Mental illness is something we are only discussing openly in recent times. There is still very little research on how social media affects those with untreated mental illness and how those affect their viewers with their perspective and ideas. It becomes dangerous when these people seek out others in real life, as happened with mike and myself and we are here to tell our stories and warn others!

Episode 2: How are Large Creators Really Using Their Platforms?
It is no secret that there are many large creators that do not use their platforms for good. In fact, it seems they may be encouraging their followers to bully and attack anyone that doesn't immediately agree with them. Let's talk about how this effects the medical community specifically. Examples of this are encouraging mass reporting of nurses over social media posts when there are more appropriate ways to deal with that issue.

Creating an Online Persona to Perpetuate Your Delusions
As we've explored in our past four episodes, TikTok is grappling with a serious mental health crisis. Creators often adopt negative personas to garner attention, creating a toxic feedback loop. Today, we delve into the case of Connor, who brands himself as "Alpha Dom." He claims to have a high-end dating course, but we have confirmed he's being disingenuous.
The real issue here is deeper than a single creator. Connor's disturbing videos, which include threats of stalking and harassment, highlight a broader problem. Let's discuss why this matters and why we're addressing it.
DISCLAIMER: these are the opinions of myself and Mike only. Neither of us are able to “diagnose” anybody. These are our opinions based on our observations over a period of time in combination with our experience and education.
