If you can honestly let - your patients understand the policies in place to ensure their information privacy - none of your patients should "push" the issue to friend or not friend within social networking atmospheres. With regards to friend-ing your boss: Are you friends with your boss or NOT? Facebook is different than LinkedIn. One - is more professionally oriented than the other. I am who I am!! I'll be-friend my boss - on Facebook - and I will act in that atmosphere as a casual / fun individual - but while networking on LinkedIn - it's a different story. Regardless of the forum - my character is always on the line - therefore – do not short change yourself by ruining your reputation with anything socially "questionable."
