Dear Mum , Hon Minister @Hon_Anifa , mine is not defending an ethical behavior but just to explain something others are not telling you - “THE POCKETING DR,”leave alone saying I know Dr Candia Robert who was one year behind me. I was his President at Medical School. A disciplined and always smiling Dr. The clinical coat has very many uses to a clinician. I won’t enumerate them but one of them , is what I have witnessed over the years: when a Dr is exhausted, instead of leaning against a wall or sitting down , many times he /she chooses to rest his / her hands in the lower coat pockets to find balance and rest on his / her feet, can you imagine. But also , to keep his hands from hanging everywhere and falling in contact with the surfaces on the ward , to keep them fairly clean before touching to examine another client, disinfect and keep again. It develops into a habit among health workers who work for long hrs or teaching, common among senior health workers. Please , please, let me plead for Dr Chadia, he is that nice son of yours - try and find out. Again , sometimes health workers use those white pockets to hide their glove - powdered hands - not dirty as such. I bet you , you will meet many , including very senior Drs pocketing. I could be wrong, I am sorry, that’s just my humble but orthodox view. @TheUMAofficial @MinofHealthUG @RubabindaJr
