A North Carolina medical school claimed that a student didn’t deliberately mistreat a patient who mocked her “pronoun pin,” despite her social media post apparently implying otherwise.

Kychelle Del Rosario, a fourth-year student at the Wake Forest School of Medicine, wrote in a since-deleted Twitter post that she hurt a man in her own care, apparently a punishment for making fun of a pin that listed her preferred “she/her” pronouns.
