[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a female doctor, I don't pay much attention to the designer status of clothing worn or bag toted. I would note if they were neatly dressed and groomed or disheveled. [/quote] What would you note that wouldn’t be a giant assumption? Aren’t doctors supposed to be scientific?[/quote] Np, also a doctor-it’s just one piece of information but it’s part of the clinical picture and it would be bad practice to not notice someone who was disheveled-particularly if you know them and it’s different from their usual. Now it easily could be because they were just on their way from a hike or slept late but it might make a doctor wonder if they were feeling more unwell then their words suggest, or perhaps that they were depressed. It’s just one of many pieces of info but it can sometimes be useful. (Obviously that’s totally different than noticing and favoring expensively dressed patients.) [/quote]
