Most senior Men clinicians still wear white shirts while at work at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, a tradition of more than sixty years of standing! But the young clinicians do not seem to follow this tradition!
When wearing the white coat while at work was done away with years back, the clinicians started wearing white shirts. Even clinical students do not wear the white coats unlike in other medical colleges.
As I spoke to the three senior clinicians in this photo about it, they wish, CMC had a work uniform for clinicians!
Not tha there is a thing special about a uniform, but it represents a tradition! Not all traditions are always meaningful after a while, but this seems to be for these clinicians, because, the white shirts remind of them of their teachers who were exemplary in mindfulness of others and service!
