Doctor's Page Mocked for Shaming Miscarriage Patient Online

A popular Facebook page run by a doctor has faced backlash for publicly ridiculing a pregnant patient with threatened miscarriage symptoms. Following an earlier case in which the doctor's page posted mockingly about a patient from Khon Kaen province—a patient who later died—the page remains under continuous online criticism for shaming and publicly humiliating patients, leading to harassment campaigns.

The Drama-addict page recently highlighted another case involving a woman who was targeted by the doctor's page. The woman was in early pregnancy and had developed a fever, sore throat, and a bathroom accident that caused abdominal pain and chest discomfort. Fearing miscarriage, her husband took her to the hospital emergency room around 2 a.m. During the wait for examination (which occurred around 9 a.m.), the frustrated husband posted on social media complaining about the long wait. The doctor's page then screenshotted and mocked his post, suggesting it was merely a cold and sarcastically noting he didn't even read the sign indicating it was an emergency ward.

Followers of the doctor's page subsequently swarmed the comments. Some directed harassment toward the woman's family business page, while others posted threats to have the hospital sue her. The woman was later examined and found to have uterine contractions and threatened miscarriage, requiring hospitalization.

Once aware that her husband's post had been publicly mocked on Facebook, the woman attempted to contact the doctor's page multiple times to explain her actual condition—not a simple cold but threatened miscarriage—and to request the post be deleted or corrected. The page read her messages but never responded. It later quietly altered the post content, apparently to avoid liability, while dodging responsibility by claiming the woman had reported vague symptoms herself.

The woman clarified that she had fully disclosed all her symptoms to medical staff in the emergency room and never posted on Facebook about the threatened miscarriage or pain, given that she had recently lost a previous pregnancy and was still grieving. She feared that posting about miscarriage concerns would be like cursing her current pregnancy. Her husband had merely shared a simple frustration about the wait.

The harassment of both her personal Facebook account and family business page, combined with her condition as a high-risk pregnancy, caused her severe stress. Fortunately, the doctors and nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department recognized she was being cyberbullied and under extreme stress. They offered emotional support, and hospital management called to encourage her. Her threatened miscarriage gradually improved, and her pregnancy continued normally. She has now come forward to share her experience as a warning about the dangers of online shaming.
