The purpose of this research is to answer the question of what is the construct of medicine and doctors to Twitter users, and what effect the issue of the death of Abbas Kiarostami - as a result of the medical error in the treatment stages - has had on the way in which social construction works in this area.

It was determined during the research that the volume of medicine and doctor related tweets increased by 7 in the time between 1394 and 1396, which is much higher than the total volume of Persian tweets. In the following, it was found that the negative symptoms, with a substantial increase, have much more referral than the increasing volume of tweets in the medical field.
