It’s Sub-I Season
The short white coats are all over the hospital these past several months*: the visiting sub-interns are here, hoping to get a leg-up on interview season in their chosen specialties.
*We’re spoiled here at Stanford, as we as medical students get to wear long coats, too. (Our residents sometimes give us crap, saying we never went through the humiliation of a short white coat. We don’t miss them.)
Ah, yay! Another spoiled school! We’re actually required to wear long coats, something about a sense of being “colleagues” instead of peons.
Here on my Sub-I, though, I do feel a bit strange around the other students (in short coats).
What you don’t think you’d enjoy having the attire of a cosmetologist? Come on admit it, you wish your coat were short enough to show some leg.
