JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Would you visit a doctor who wore a
lab coat labled "Kevorkian Medical Clinic?" Or dressed as a pimp?
Or posted online photos of themselves cross-dressing?
But that's the kind of material University of Florida
researchers found when they studied the Facebook pages of the
school's medical students.
The study found that almost half the medical students had
Facebook pages, but only 37 percent of those limited viewership to
their friends. More than half provided lifestyle information,
including sexual orientation, dating relationships and political
opinions.
Researchers found pictures of students grabbing their breasts
and crotches, posing with a dead raccoon and many photos of
students heavily drinking.
