What do you think? Is it time for unconventional looks to become more normal in medicine, or do you think the conventional "professional" appearance should be maintained?

I work with a lot of other medical professionals with tattoos that are visible but tasteful, and a few with unnatural haircolors/unconventional haircuts. This is in New England though, it's not odd to see people of all walks of life like that.

That's interesting. I work in Texas and it would definitely be unusual to see that here. Well, arm tattoos, maybe, but not much else.

I would rather have a more conventional professional appearance. I really can't take these people seriously. I feel like they were just given their degree. I'm 55.

I’m 55 as well and I completely understand. We grew up in a different time when these type of appearances were unacceptable. I mentally struggle with finding the looks (especially the tattoos) professional. However, I do understand that there are many patients who would be more comfortable seeing a provider with unconventional looks, and that is important. Of course, we all feel how we feel about things like this, and that’s fine, but I can assure you no one just “gave them“ their degrees. PA school is very difficult and highly regimented. I guarantee they worked hard for their degrees and are very knowledgeable providers. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

You asked, I'm answeing. There needs to be a set of standard or expectations. If some man or woman doesn't take themselves seriously enough not to be a cartoon character, why am I trusting them with my health or life. Their look is the standard for Walmart, not for health care professionals.

Yes, I did ask and I appreciate you giving your honest feelings. So many people have vastly different feelings on this. That's why I find this topic so interesting! Thanks for watching and commenting.
