Hi I always wonder what is the purpose of that long White Coat the doctors always wear? Is that a uniform or for image or hygiene?

I always thought its for hygiene, but I always see young doctors wearing that to food courts and eating wearing it.... can't help it but think they are very yaya

Can somebody enlighten me pls thanks

housemen and grads wear them

The "confirmed" doctors dun wear them, only name tag and tie

Correction. Only med students wear them. It was a symbol of purity as a nobleman job but infection control and transmission of diseases via unwashed coat has made them obsolete. In UK, doctors have been issues strict orders on dress codes with no coats, ties, watches and supposedly bear below elbow policy. Like a f@+king communist.....

When you are a MO doing a 30 hours plus call. You get paid less than 6 dollars an hour. Need to do 1000 plus hours to get Brembo. That's why I go buy replica F10! Hahaha

care to share the math on this? $6/hr for an MO seems a little low to me.

So does that mean by right they should not wear those to foodcourts?
Personally I feel whether they wash the coat or not we don't know and the thought of bacteria they are carrying on those coats walking in foodcourts is rather disturbing.

Rough estimate: weekdays call 210 per shift. You start at 7 am and typically leave the next day around 5 pm. That will be 34 hours. So divide that you get the amount above. Of course this is only call allowance. But MO pay is pretty pathetic anyway starting from 2k plus pre tax for first year MO

By right it is banned. So is the call baju but students like to brag about them being a doc to be blah blah....
