Members don't see this ad.

That's what I'm wondering... Like, since we can't have coats or long sleeves, can they just set aside a scrub color and let all doctors wear it (and only doctors)?

I've heard from many doctors that once you're an attending you can wear whatever the hell you want to.

I vote lime green!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

But I suppose after I work somewhere for.. oh, 10+ years, they MIGHT realize I'm a doctor and not a nurse.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

I vote lime green!

Haha. I think of navy blue as being the most doctorish... but if we can vote, let's go for it!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

OK then! Vote for yourself!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

We could start a poll...

 

[olemissbabydoc]

That wasn't directed at anyone.

I figured as much

 

[DrYoda]

It's a sad day for us 🙁

Meh, I'd perfer to wear scrubs or just a dress shirt anyways.


Seems most of the doctors around here don't wear the white coat anyways.

 

[ChubbyChaser]

Guys..i think i can see an ab now!

 

[aznb0y129]

I know it...they got raped too.

Baseball still isnt a real sport though.

Cause it's not a contact sport? What about guys running into the catcher to beat the throw home?

Guys..so a 17 year old is legal right?

Uh...

This is why I went into Medicine:

This was such a weird video, British humor is so funny.

 

[aznb0y129]

So if I don't go to med school and just stayed in Chicago and helped raise all my little baby cousins would y'all judge me ? :cry: :cry:

I'd probably judge you a little bit.

Jk, what brought this on?

Hm. Having issues trying to post a picture.

Whatevs, here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mkirk/3575367166/

Cute! Whose hand is that in the picture?

It's a sad day for us 🙁

What if you work in private practice?

Haha. I think of navy blue as being the most doctorish... but if we can vote, let's go for it!

A solid blue or green color would be best IMO.

 

[Chuck's Right Foot]

Oh man .... So OMBD as pediatricians can we wear scrubs ? 🙂

Most pediatricians forgo the white coat anyway since the coat can scare the kids.

What if you work in private practice?

There's no legal enforcement, but if you are dealing with sick patients, why would you want to increase the chance of spreading infections?

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Meh, I'd perfer to wear scrubs or just a dress shirt anyways.

Yeah, but you can't wear sleeves or a tie... so I suppose it's polo or nothing?

Nothing. That'd be a way to make a statement.

 

[Myuu]

No sleeves? No tie?

Wifebeaters for everyone!!

Nono, I was just curious if there had been a ruling for doctors in private practice.

I vote for wearing backwards basketball jerseys.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Or there's always this option..

Or there's always this option...

Those pants should be our uniform!!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

No sleeves? No tie?

Wifebeaters for everyone!!

They even come in four colors!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Oh, and calling all future aunts:

Cutest thing ever. I'd order today if I knew my sister was pregnant.

I can't find a "When I grow up" onesie to fit our situation ("I want to be a doctor/pediatrician/surgeon/insert specialty like my aunt"), but there are a couple places where you can customize...

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Jeez... where ARE you people?

 

[raaska55]

I'd probably judge you a little bit.

Jk, what brought this on?

Nothing, they are just so darned cute and I hate not getting to see them grow up 😳 But that's life, eh?

No sleeves? No tie?

Wifebeaters for everyone!!

I'm in. 👍

Hi raaska 🙂🙂

Hello OMBD 😀😀😀

How were your shows?

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Hello OMBD 😀😀😀

How were your shows?

Great! I've got awful cravings tonight. God help my future husband when we have a baby if "regular" cravings are this bad... potato chips and ice cream ftw!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Little Couple is always good... and I love Deliver Me... so it was a double wonderful night!

Then I watched this show about American women giving birth in strange places... like a hut... after. Weird....

Sweet and salty 🙂

OMBD, how do you feel about water births? Like in general, not necessarily for you

 

[olemissbabydoc]

I guess they are okay... in a hospital setting (and I have seen it done that way). My main issue with non-traditional birth is the safety component for mom and baby.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Personally, I plan on delivering under general anesthesia 😆

Just kidding.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Don't have to set an alarm for the morning! yay!

I'm not.

No clue! Found the picture on cute overload. 😀

Oh, and calling all future aunts:

Awww! If it was my neurosurgeon brother having the baby, I'd def. buy it!

It's a sad day for us 🙁

What! I'm going to be mistaken for a nurse until I'm like 50! I look too damn young. People keep thinking I'm in high school. 😡 Ima be a surgeon so it doesn't matter. 😛

Not that I'm particularly attached to white coats. I actually do find them gross. We wear them in my lab and I think I change mine the most often (once a week) and I feel like that's not really good enough. It'd be less gross if they actually made coats that fit me so the wrist cuffs weren't always hanging around the bases of my hands.


Also, tetanus shots hurt like crazy! 🙁 If I'd known, I would've got my shot in my right shoulder, because I sleep on my left shoulder. Last night was not fun. I hope this goes away soon.

 

[09medstudent13]

Guys..i think i can see an ab now!

Congrats buddy!

Cause it's not a contact sport? What about guys running into the catcher to beat the throw home?

Baseball is most definitely a sport. Not super huge on contact, but there is some.

No sleeves? No tie?

Wifebeaters for everyone!!

I'd rather just be naked.

Nono, I was just curious if there had been a ruling for doctors in private practice.

Those short sleeves are just about the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. My vote is for scrubs, more specifically the navy blue (I think it looks most professional). I understand the reasoning, but it's always sad to see a long standing tradition fall by the wayside. Though it is just a recommendation, perhaps all the hospitals will bandit; Reynolds style.

 

[sarahl86]

I hope we still GET white coats :cry:

...me too...

There's always the white coat ceremony, right guys?

 

[09medstudent13]

Yeah, I would guess that all med schools will keep the White Coat Ceremony. And they will be used for lab; only when we actually become doctors will we not get to wear them.

Is that ironic or just sad?

 

[09medstudent13]

I think it dabbles in both views. 🙂

 

[quirks]

I don't think the short sleeves look that bad. 😳

 

[aznb0y129]

I don't think the short sleeves look that bad. 😳

But that means you have to wear short-sleeved dress shirts as well and those tend to look pretty bad.

You can't have a short-sleeved white coat with long-sleeved dress shirts. The whole combination just boggles my mind

 

[09medstudent13]

Today may be a new record for boredom at work. Having trouble staying awake over here.

The only solution is to wear a polo. I'm very much in favor of that.

Maybe they'll start handing out jerseys with your profession on the front and the name on the back
