Seventy-two per cent of all hospital doctors and medical students wear white coats and most wear them greater than 75% of the time. White coats are worn chiefly for easy recognition by colleagues and patients, to put items in the pockets and to keep clothes clean. Psychiatrists and paediatricians try to maximize rapport with patients by deliberately not wearing white coats.
所有医院医生和医学生中有72%穿着白大褂，而且大多数人穿白大褂的时间超过75%。穿白大褂主要是为了便于同事和患者识别、方便在口袋里放东西以及保持衣服清洁。精神科医生和儿科医生会刻意不穿白大褂，以尽量与患者建立融洽关系。
