. In your position as a marketer in a hospital, do you think Dr. Grays Facebook page is an issue that warrants your attention? Why or why not?
As a marketer, yes, Dr. Grays facebook page should warrant attention for a number of reasons.

Likewise, Dr. Gray, must also understand that as a surgeon, she has an obligation to her herself and the university to conduct herself in a much higher standard. This does not mean she should not engage in parties and fun activities. Instead she should be aware of how the videos, photos, and profanity will be perceived by her future employers and clients. As…
