That is the truth. Everything else is rationalization. You dress up, so the ones who like nice shoes and tie feel less vain about their choice in attire. That is the truth.

It reminds everyone that you are a professional with years of education and training. More precisely, a PHYSICIAN. Even though I'm just a lowly cardiovascular technology student (for now...I hope to go to med school after earning my bachelor's and become an interventional cardiologist and cardiac imaging specialist), I'm going to wear a shirt and tie and labcoat (that says Douglas I. Pereira RDCS CCT/Cardiovascular Technology) when in practice at the hospital, to make my patient feel that they are under the care of a professional, not some guy that operates the ECHO machine. If I assist in pericardiocentesis, I'll wear a surgical gown over my clothes. Besides, it makes me look nice...scrubs make me look fat. I also don't want to have to change my clothes when my shift is over and I go to classes. I think everyone in a hospital needs to wear business attire and a labcoat, unless you’re in surgery.
