Those doctors shouldn't be in lab coats should they? Regulations at the blood center I'm retired

were that those were left in the contaminated areas. I was in hospitals a lot working blood drives and I don't remember doctors running around in their lab coats.

Is that just a show for people that don't know any better, so they look more like serious doctors?

1. When I had surgery in April, all the docs wore the coats into my room.

3. Always see coats on morning rounds where I live...not so much later in the day...

2. It's definitely a TV Doctor move.

As in, "...but I play one on..."

4. Real doctors wear scrubs.

5. It's all part of the theatre

The phalanx of doctors in lab coats standing there solely for effect, Conley wearing a lab coat with the presidential seal on one breast, and his name, degree, and "physician to the President" on the other.

Those coats are NOT working wear, they're wardrobe.
