I love when people make wildly inaccurate statements but don't provide any form of support for their statement.
Uhh...you clearly don't know what a pharmacist does. Many pharmacies have compounding labs where they create custom drugs etc.
Pharmacists have not been producing drugs for many decades now, they need certain type of industrial scale security that one's own small scale compounding lab could not secure.
Some of my basic pills are made 'from scratch' for me at my pharmacy due to my allergies.
I work at a pharmacy and they do so….I think I know
Well if your pharmacy still pratices compounding then yes, you are an exception to the rule I presented I suppose.
I'm a chemical engineer with a minor on pharmaceutical industry and I was under the impression that those type of practices were long gone since pharmaceutical companies nowadays rather produce in single standard dosage, directly into the patient and trying to cut those liabilities.
Okay; and why is that?
Don't ask
But I already did.....
Delete it then
Nah, I dont think I will.
B-but they look cool :(
That's the fairest of all the points mate
They help protect regular clothing. Any germs they might encounter remains on the coat so it's more difficult to pass on those germs once they get home or be infected by them.
It's color helps spot any spills
Any "coat" could do that, there is no need for a universal white lab coat culture for pharmacists anymore, because they aren't developing the meds like they use to a long time ago
Actually, compounding pharmacies still exist. And the lab coat is used because it performs the functions well. White makes it easy to spot stains so there's no reason to change that. The length makes it long enough to cover most of your body without being restricting. There's a reason they used in back in the day. Now it continues on cause of a combination of practicality and tradition.
Uh, it shows you that it is clean, since they need to be near-sterile when handling the meds going into your mouth? What do you want them to wear, the overalls they work the yard in on the weekend?
That makes sense, but still wearing the same outfit everyday without cleaning it (at least until the weekend, when you have more time to clean it off and dry) seems to me to be more dirty than wearing your own personal and washed clothes everyday. Besides, pharmacists could still wear a company's outfit, like some sales people do, the white lab coat is just unnecessary.
I dont think they have only one Coat...
