I know that many people, especially teenagers and college students don't exercise a great deal of discretion with regard to Facebook postings these days.  I wasn't quite ready for this piece at the Chronicle of Higher Education, though. Seems that Med school students not only like to engage in sophomore frat-house antics, they like to provide videos of them for the world to see on Facebook. Wouldn't you think that by the time you're in medical school ......... Anyway, I wonder what this is going to do to malpractice insurance.
