White Coat
From Gomerpedia
The white coat (or lab coat) is a long white lab coat with pockets that, over time, becomes the nastiest of fomites. Not only can it carry paperwork and [[Graham Crackers}graham crackers]][1], it can also hold unlimited stains in the form of food and bodily fluids. It is rarely washed[2] and often shortened to teach upstart residents a lesson.[3] As much as the white coat has been a symbol of medicine for decades, it will likely be phased out completely to be replaced instead by the sleek and more ubiquitous black fleece pioneered by orthopods[4], despite the recently broadened array of colors available (not only white).[5]
