Tuesday, December 31, 2002The white coat has its uses from the patient’s perspective, too. I recently realized its importance in that regard when my dentist became my patient. In his office, my dentist wears a white coat. He wears a white coat and dark-rimmed glasses and speaks passionately about dental technology. He is a solemn dental geek. And I like that. It makes me feel safe. It makes me trust him with that drill. But in my office he wears a black leather jacket, black turleneck, and gold chains. He he looks more like a used car salesman than my trusted dentist. I know in my heart that his clothing has nothing to do with his dental skills, but I'm still glad that when I go to his office, it's his white-coat persona I see. It’s so much more reassuring, even though I spend most of my time there with my eyes closed. posted by Sydney on 12/31/2002 07:37:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
