Throughout the video, Wen says multiple time that doctors hide behind their white coats. What does she mean by this?
1 answer
When Wen says that doctors hide behind their white coats, she is suggesting that doctors may rely on their perceived authority and status to avoid accountability or criticism. It's a metaphorical way of implying that some doctors may use their position and professional garb as a shield to avoid being challenged or questioned in their decisions or actions. Wen is highlighting the power dynamics that can exist in doctor-patient relationships and the need for both parties to communicate openly and honestly.
