Saturday Theme: Ethics Across Borders
I've actually thought about whether to post this for the last 48 hours. I've thought about it and prayed about it.
BUSINESS ETHICS: A SUBJECT I'VE NEVER SEEN POSTED ON SKOOL MAYBE I MISSED IT?
Business ethics isn’t just about what you do inside your own community.
It’s about how you behave across borders.
Some people build worlds. Some people borrow worlds. And some people try to take worlds because they don’t yet know how to create their own.
When someone in another community copies your work, it’s not a threat, it’s a diagnostic. It tells you exactly where their internal scaffolding is missing.
The Ethical Risk: When Unqualified People Copy Clinical Content
Content theft is annoying.
But unqualified people copying clinical content is dangerous.
It creates three predictable harms:
- Harm to the public - People may act on misinformation instead of seeking qualified help.
- Harm to the field - It erodes trust in legitimate practitioners.
- Harm to the creator - Your work gets stripped of context, nuance, and safety boundaries.
This is not just a business ethics issue. It’s a safety issue.
In health education, ethics is about safety.
- When someone without credentials copies content, they remove the safety rails.
- They don’t understand contraindications, nuance, or the difference between correlation and causation.
- They don’t know how to prevent harm.
- And their audience doesn’t know they don’t know.
In health education, ethics is not optional.
When someone without training copies content or starts making claims that aren't true, it's not just unprofessional, it’s unsafe.
In my world, I don’t play with people’s health.
I don’t make promises that aren't true.
And I don’t confuse correlation with cure.
Ethics is how I protect the people I serve.
Before sharing health information, ask: “Is this accurate, contextual, and safe?” If you don't know, ask someone who does.
Before acting on health information, ask: “Is this coming from someone educated and trained to speak on it?”
The real ethical line
Credentials aren’t gatekeeping.
They’re guardrails.
If you teach health, you need education and training.
If you copy content without understanding it, you’re not building a business, you’re creating risk.
Before you share or act on health information, ask:
- Is this accurate?
- Is this contextual?
- Is this safe?
- Is this coming from someone educated and trained to speak on it?
This is how we protect ourselves, our communities, and the people who trust us.
As a nurse/Ph.D. I took an oath to cause no harm and I carry that here with me.
Let me be unmistakably clear: I am not affiliated with anyone putting out unqualified clinical/medical advice or misinformation. If someone is copying my content and attaching it to unsafe claims and misinformation, they are acting entirely on their own and far outside the ethical and clinical/medical standards I uphold.
Client safety before $$$$$
I'd love to hear thoughts on this.
