I get this is a joke but the desire of people to wear a white coat in the hospital is insane. I worked with a group of researchers out of a large hospital and we had the option of wearing white coats. I always refused because I thought the possibility of being mistaken for a physician by a patient would be embarrassing but every other person who worked there from research assistants to lab techs would wear white coats around as often as possible. They had the coats embroidered with our names which was kinda cool, but I still couldn't bring myself to wear it.
