Yes it is about the knowledge but it is hard to justify dressing like people who work in goth shops, a nail salon, as cleaners etc. <br />I believe that it is about the professional nature of the job and so a certain dress sense should be imposed.Yrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394465740608263789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10661747.post-9780312649444921842012-03-22T21:46:38.933+00:002012-03-22T21:46:38.933+00:00Maybe doctors should have uniforms then?Maybe doctors should have uniforms then?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10661747.post-50631645793137632432012-03-22T17:01:35.194+00:002012-03-22T17:01:35.194+00:00I was talking to my sister about this - she wanted...I was talking to my sister about this - she wanted to dye her hair green. I was trying to explain to her that whether or not she thinks its right, or whether she would judge somebody based on their appearance, other people will judge. Its just the way it is. I suppose it just depends if you are willing ot let people make those assumptions about you. <br /><br />Although I have to say that when doctors come onto the wards dressed really casually I do disapprove a bit - all the other staff have to wear uniforms and look smart in them, why should the doctors be any different?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10661747.post-71158752034773667232012-03-19T13:02:05.736+00:002012-03-19T13:02:05.736+00:00I don't really mind how doctors dress, it'...I don't really mind how doctors dress, it's the knowledge that counts.<br /><br />Vets have to worry about this kind of thing too, male students still have to wear shirts and ties at uni despite the proven disease transmission risk. Until 2 years ago there were still white labcoats.<br /><br />At the moment I go with shirt (minus tie) and scrub top. And I even wear trainers!Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510490107789203533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10661747.post-55705294103445472312012-03-19T00:33:51.094+00:002012-03-19T00:33:51.094+00:00so glad you brought this up... ive been battling w...so glad you brought this up... ive been battling with myself over this for ages. even as a student, i feel compelled to dress more discretely even though my mind aches for the clothes that may appear more 'outlandish' but that i feel most comfortable in... let alone piercings i desperately want or my bland hair colour that truly brings me down.<br /><br />i truly think a doctor's experience does not affect their ability, and to some extent, the codes aren't set out by the patients... but the doctors themselves; also too harsh lest we get insulted. <br />it's a shame.<br />id love to be myself with patients!shehrazedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16231262613529818049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10661747.post-85870605979309221142012-03-18T23:30:57.927+00:002012-03-18T23:30:57.927+00:00http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Don_194d8b_268175...http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Don_194d8b_2681758.jpg<br /><br />Don't judge a book by their cover...emt.dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10661747.post-17094008746076253822012-03-18T22:36:36.967+00:002012-03-18T22:36:36.967+00:00Personnally I find doctors who dress as themselves...Personnally I find doctors who dress as themselves be it covered in tattoes or like a barbie doll easier to communicate with while doctors who dress as the "public" expects to me are simply intimidating. <br /><br />I would say it also depends on the specialty going into a care of the elderly ward with a nose stud and tattoos might raise a few eyebrows where as baby pink hair on a kids ward would be cool and dare I say it full sleeves would likely raise eyebrows everywhere.<br /><br />2 tats, 3 piercing and purple hair god help me if i ever get into medicineThe Young Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917179537100481273noreply@blogger.com
