White Coat Ceremony

On Friday Scott was initiated into the doctor world with the U of U White Coat Ceremony. It was a really entertaining and inspiring event, which was a pleasant surprise to all of us in the audience. The speaker talked a lot about the nature of the doctor-patient relationship and she was quite moving. The ceremony lasted only an hour and Scott got to take his white coat home, which he now even sleeps and showers in (just kidding). Here are a couple of pictures from the event:

I have a feeling this coat won't look quite so fresh and new pretty soon, especially if Scott won't part with it long enough to wash it. (The medical waste issues could take on legal proportions.) Contratulations, though.

Hey, you look mighty handsome in your doctor duds! A very nice-looking couple as well - thanks for the pictures!
