Looking Good as an Intern

Members don't see this ad.

You should have ended that paragraph with a super-cool last statement like "I'm out" to really drive the point home SAIB-style...... 👍

"I m out ...." that was one of the funniest posts i ve read on sdn in a while.

This thread is hilarious 🙂

BTW - dunkin donuts coffee is way better than starbucks...and cheaper

👍 Dunkin Donuts coffee is the best!!! With cream and sugar. I crave it so badly when I'm at school because there isn't a DD around for about 100 miles. When I'm here, I drink Starbucks or Panera but I'd much rather have DD (I tried buying the coffee and home brewing, just not the same). DD isn't cheaper than Starbucks where I live, but that would be a good perk.

Alrighty, back on topic.

Do you have any tastebuds? I would venture to say toilet water tastes better than DD coffee!!! I'll brew my own, thank you!!!

Dude, I know exactly where you're coming from.

To all the haters, you have no business posting on this thread if:

1) You prefer drink tap water over bottled water.
2) You prefer 7-11 coffee over Starbucks.
3) You prefer pleated slacks over flat front slacks.
4) You prefer Levis/Wrangler jeans over Seven/Diesel denim.
5) You prefer suits with either no vents or a single vent in the back vs. double-vented, pin-stripped suits.
6) You prefer the most inexpensive dress shirt over a Thomas Pink dress shirt with a spread-collar and french-cuffs.
7) You prefer burgers/fries over a fancy restaurant.
8) The list goes on and on...

If you fit the above criteria, you will have a VERY difficult time understanding why someone wants to buy custom-tailored scrubs. To each their own. I'm out...

Dude, I think you forgot...
9) You prefer vaginas over penises

wait a minute...

Are you suggesting that being a gay low rider, flared pants wearing guy, means you like vag over dong? (in other words makes you straight)

I must have missed that lesson of man school, but I was busy having sex with chicks during that one.


I hope you meant to suggest that DOCTORSAIB's post failed to include preferring dong over vag. (meaning you're gay if you wear the low-riding flames, I mean flares.

 

[DOCTORSAIB]

I must include my two cents:

DOCTORSAIB: You are the gayest dude that ever posted on this. Also, I am midly embarrassed that you might be Indian (saib) as I am too, and the thought of having anything in common with you just made me a little gayer.

Personally, I like to dress nice, buy nice stuff and all that. I think french cuffs are sweet, and I think sometimes, you get what you pay for (not the diesel vs. levis - more like outback vs. mortons). But no heterosexual man, or a butch gay dude, has any business wearing flared low riding pants. That essentially makes you the lower of the duo.

That being said, this is the finniest thread that I have ever read in 6+ years on SDN. It affirms my manhood and makes me wanna go to the local watering hole, drink some beer, and kick some ass.

I love it when med nerds come on SDN and all of a sudden become internet tough guys.

If your "manhood" is confirmed by a silly post on SDN, you need to go to the local shrink, not the local watering-hole.

Btw, I'm Afghan, NOT Indian. Stop ASSuming! I'M OUT....

it's okay-they need SOME place to come feel manly . . . lol 😀

i think that yorkies are the cutest puppy dogs. Some people like poodles or weenie-dogs...but I think those people are silly.

i also love reese witherspoon. she's easy on the eyes.

i do not like snuggling. it's overrated.

Sorry. Double post. See below.

Dunkin Donuts' brew is a cheap American ripoff of Canadians' beloved cuppa Tim's.

Fun fact for my fellow Canadians: according to Wikipedia we have twice as many Tim Hortons franchises here as McDonald's.

I once calculated the amount of money I spend on Tim Hortons coffee in a year... let's just say it's embarrassing.

You read it backwards. "You have no business posting on this thread if you prefer vag over dong" is what he added while pretending to be DrSaib.

Then again, the subconscious works in mysterious ways.

ROTFLMMFAO!!

Seriously though, scrubs for life.

What could possibly be better than wearing your pajamas to work.

[UCLAstudent]

I have searched everywhere in vein for low rise non-flare scrubs

You might try looking in the arteries next time. 😉

Hey, how about changing the oil on yer' white coat every now and then. I have seen some interns and medical students walking around wearing white coats which have probably not been washed since July.

Laundry. Say it with me.

I don't thnk the patients feel very comfortable being touched by someone who looks like a hobo.

"Stop ASSuming! "

Careful, you might cut yourself with that wit.

BTW - UCLAstudent and panda bear. 4000+ post, that's impressive.

Alright, what do you all recommend for female interns to wear? It's hard to dress conservatively (so people take you seriously & give you a good grade) and cutely (so you don't turn into a man in the process of becoming a physician). Whenever I dress cutely some GIRL (or shall i say b!tch) has to pull me aside and tell me my dangly earrings/shirt/shoes/lipstick/nailpolish whatever is too much for the hospital. Some girl even commented on my dansko clogs being too cute (which are super-ugly if you wear them outside of the hospital...think about it). Grrrrrr.

 

[kaineliu]

Dansko clogs should be replaced with 4 inch clear heels. Just make sure you paint the toenails to match your fingernails.

Seriously, it's not so easy being a woman in medicine! Whatever you do, someone will b!tch. The same girl who was unhappy with my dangly earrings told me today that my breasts are a bit too big for V-neck shirts (is that a compliment or an insult???? 😱 ). I guess in order to become a responsible physician, one needs to cut one's boobs off in order to not detract from patient care. Grrrrrrr. 😱

Your boobs are NOT too big for a v neck. As a boobfessional, I assure you that.

I think that personal style should for the most part be confined to one's personal life. Looking acceptable in the workplace is all that is required.

I think that, in general, only patients that frequent a Beverly Hills elective surgery office would appreciate designer scrubs and $200 shirts on the medical staff.

I, for one, would prefer my doctors and staff to wear attire appropriate for the situation. Nice shirt and tie, or the equivalent for a woman, when in the office for an exam or consultation. But not french cuffs and Armani suits. How about when there is the possibility of him or her performing a procedure? I want my doctor to wear scrubs or clothes that he/she doesn't care if they get ick or gore on them.

If I was a patient in a hospital, I would rather have my doctor wear something that he/she would not hesitate to soil. If I start puking blood, I don't want to have to worry that the doctor or nurse will consider how to treat me in a way that won't get blood or vomit or whatever on their fancy duds. Sorry, but if you are wearing expensive clothing, you are going to try not to get body fluids on them. To me, scrubs says that you are primed and ready to save my life, a runner on the blocks; you have no other concerns on your mind.

I also would question your professionalism if you came to my bedside in designer clothing. I'd worry that you were overly concerned about your appearance. Even if you were the consummate professional, there would be the lingering doubt. I think that people that don't value designer clothing would think that, too. And there are a lot of them.

Which brings me back to my original point. Personal style, beyond the functional, should be left outside the hospital or office. And one of the posters above hit the nail on the head. Hygiene is more important than choice of clothing. Keep your breath fresh, hair combed, and face washed.

Oh, yeah, one last thing that everyone here seems to be forgetting...the general public thinks that scrubs are way cool. A fashion statement in itself. Why else do you think that non-medical people wear scrubs?

I don't know if I can agree with you there....for me, dressing up or taking 2 extra mintues to put on some mascara and lipstick puts me in such a good mood that I work much harder when I'm in the hospital. When I wear the ugly, men's cut scrubs that they have here I feel like **** and ready to go home as if I'm post-call. I guess everyone's different. I don't think dressing nicely or caring about how you look has anything to do with professionalism or how you treat patients. I have in fact had someone puke all over my nice pants when I was on psych, but I did not mind too much...the dry cleaner is one block away from where I live.

I didn't mean that people should not make an effort to look nice. Makeup and nice clothes are okay. Slacks and a button down shirt and tie for guys, something comparable for women. You know, business casual. But not dressed to the nines and wearing something you'd put on to go to a five-star restaurant.

I don't think dressing nicely or caring about how you look has anything to do with professionalism or how you treat patients.

In principle, I agree with you on the part of the physician, but I think that one must also consider the possible perception of the patient and his or her family. I factor the latter into my definition of professionalism (some people don't - to each his or her own), and so "business casual" is the most, and least, I will dress up, save for scrubs.
