Sexily Dressed Doctors May Be Dangerous!

Beware world! Health care in the US is a shambles!! Is it the new Schwarzenegger universal health care plan for California? Is it avian flu? Is Medicare finally going bankrupt??

NO!! It's the rebellion of young doctors.

"In step with their media counterparts, upcoming medical students and residents are rebelling against the traditional Norman Rockwell white-coat doctor's image by wearing mini skirts, rumpled oxford shirts without ties, unshaven chops, high heels, and other things that may be considered medically inappropriate," states a hilarious expose of how slutty clothes undermine the patient-doctor relationship by ABC News: Health. (This is under the sub-heading, "Young Doctors Gone Wild")

My favorite part:
"Some Doctors Welcome the Change

One well-respected and long-practicing doctor agreed that hospital dress was becoming more casual.
But he doesn't necessarily object to that change.
"I have not seen the plunging neckline," he said. 'I would like to, though!' "

So watch out. Forget their skills, years of education, intelligence, and problem-solving, your health care is being degraded by five o'clock shadows, V-necks, and kitten heels.
