(CBC) On Monday morning, a revised version of Zachary Kuehner’s Twitter bio appeared: “Resident doc, mutt owner, sometimes travel writer.”
Deleted from the page was another descriptor that existed until some point over the weekend: “Islamophobe.”
This, plus other objectionable comments on social media, led to a group of undergraduate medical students writing a letter of complaint to the dean of medicine, Margaret Steele, late last week.
“Such comments and posts are exceedingly concerning to undergraduate learners as Dr. Kuehner is a resident physician — a title that usually encompasses our professional role models and teachers. As well, an individual who, by nature of their career, is respected by society, and does not respect them back,” the letter reads in part.
