LOL when I consulted at a hospital I always wore a suit. The suit automatically distinguishes you as an authority. This was used for the business people.
If I had to observe patient engagements or work with the clinical staff, I’d put on a lab coat over my suit. Asserting that I am both an authority and a clinical expert.
This got people listen very effectively and put people at ease when I’d show up and they did not know me. I am not a clinical expert nor did I ever offer clinical advice, but when it comes to clinical staff listening and more importantly, patients being at ease, the lab coat achieves both immediately.
Meme is dead on. I lived it for years.
Edit: lab coats are hot as fuck. The first thing doctors and anyone else does when no one is around is take that fucking thing off. It’s literally a theatric measure and little else.
Maybe I've been going about things wrong. I should be wearing a lab coat out in public when I try to explain the facts of Covid to people who haven't heard them.
