The story behind the widely-shared photo of a bikini-clad doctor who helped a patient on the brink of death

Dr. Candice Myhre reenacts the time she treated a patient with life-threatening injuries that she encountered while surfing.


Myhre told Insider she shared the image on July 25 in protest against a retracted controversial study that analyzed doctors' social media use, and called female doctors "unprofessional" for being photographed in bikinis. Incensed, Myhre shared her pictures on Instagram with the tag #MedBikini, joining thousands of other doctors.
