For them, it is more practical and accessible to consult online a possible ailment or query, and it is the professionals who build that bridge. In the video, we speak with professionals such as David Callejo, an anesthetist at the Creciendo Center who also has a presence on the social network, who recognizes that it is “comfortable” to talk to healthcare personnel through social networks.

That is why the toilets themselves have been the initiators of this type of video, to divulge official knowledge against possible harmful content. Lorraine Serranogynecologist and disseminator at @Hello.Gyn, sees it as “logical” that professionals have a presence on the social network.
