University hospitals in the United States are awash with seas of white coats. Doctors are readily identifiable, their name and clinical service clearly embroidered on their breast pockets. Students are also part of this white brigade, albeit in shorter coats. When asked why they persist with the white coat, long abandoned by their colleagues elsewhere in the world, their justification includes instant recognition by patient and public alike, ease of maintenance, and the white coat’s value as an integral part of the tradition and practice of medicine.
