Paging Doctor Fashion

From today's Sunday Times 'Sunday Styles' section:


What I'm Wearing Now
In a workplace where scrubs and sensible shoes are always in fasion, Dr. Teena Shetty violates the dress code with flair. Dr. Shetty, 30, typically wears high heels, flowing skirts and fine jewelry (along with a white doctor's coat) while seeing patients....

Do patients assume that since their doctor is fashionably dressed, the doctor is successful, and therefore good?

Or do they resent the idea that their illness paid for it?

I think the latter.

hi bill, i used to work in a hospital but here in england, with the 'free' health service, we just get bitter that our taxes our funding their clothes!
i always found the nicer, and more approachable doctors are the ones badly dressed as they spend more time thinking about the job than their image and self-importance!
