Identity culture, echo chambers, and call-out culture

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

Given that the editors knew that the authors used the Association of Program Directors in Vascular Surgery directory back in December, what's your best guess as to why they pulled the article this summer? Nothing to do with a recent viral media campaign leading to an outpouring of strong negative feelings?

Absent your mind-reading skills, I see no compelling reason to characterise them as liars as you have.

That is part of what it says, yes. It also talks about open violations of HIPAA, drug abuse, and other such uncontroversially unprofessional conduct.

Yes. I thought about mentioning that, but decided against it for brevity.

That sort of thing is actually is actually worthy of publication. It actually affects how people practice medicine, even though it isn't medicine itself. Assuming they did that part well, it's a pity they polluted the paper with observations about young doctors partying and wearing bikinis.

Don't remember calling the editors liars, but okay.

(Heck, I'm not even sure if they were being cleverly misleading. Obvious fig leaf is obvious, IMO.)

Agreed.
