Doctors post bikini pics in protest at ‘unprofessional’ claims

Female medics have flooded social media with swimwear photos after a now retracted journal article slammed such images as 'inappropriate'

A US journal has hurriedly retracted an article that claims female doctors who post bikini photos are unprofessional, prompting doctors to upload pictures of themselves in swimwear in protest.

The article, published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery, created an instant furore after citing photos of doctors in “provocative” bikinis or swimwear as examples of unprofessional social media content.
