The Medical Scandal Uncovered by a Tweet

Trending

Available for over a year

When a French woman became concerned about the way her routine gynaecology exam was carried out, her husband asked a simple question about standard procedures on Twitter. The tweet triggered a slew of accusations about medical malpractice in France. We also hear from Emily Bingham, whose Facebook plea for people to stop asking ‘when will you have a baby?’ struck a chord online. Produced by Estelle Doyle.
