Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Medical advice is explicitly disallowed; self-promotion rules are not clear—ask moderators before posting commercial content.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: discussion, story, guide
Headline: short, factual summary (include setting/time if relevant). Use first-person for de-identified incident reports and third-person for analyses. Typical length ~200–800 words. Tone: clinical, educational, non-accusatory; cite official guidelines or studies. Upvoted: clear patient-safety lessons, de-identified real experiences, constructive systems-level fixes. Removed/downvoted: requests for medical advice, sensational blame, and obvious product advertising.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/patient_safety's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
