Those white coats doctors wear to keep a professional appearance could actually make you sick.Geez Louise, maybe a little bleach too?
Studies have shown doctors' clothing can spread infectious diseases to patients.
So, Healthcare Epidemiology of America is suggesting new guidelines.
They say doctors should wear short sleeves and no watches, jewelry or ties when seeing patients.
They also recommend closed toed footwear. Doctors required to wear the white coats should have access to multiple coats, and all of them should be washed in hot water everyday.
It's getting to the point I'm terrified of hospitals...
