I am Facebook friends with my nurse midwife. She is also my pcp when it comes to general health concerns. She was totally cool with it..saying its nice to still be connected to a patient after we spent 9 months of pregnancy getting to know each other. She loves seeing pictures of the baby she helped me deliver and occasionally checks in and says hi. I dont use facebook to connect with her about anything medical and always call the clinic if i need something. I think in this circumstance its ok I work as an RN in an ED. Now, in that case if i dont know the patient outside of work, nope..Wouldn't allow it.
