From there, my eyes go to the pockets. If they’re stuffed, it’s probably a resident carrying around paperwork, prescribing pads, and pens. If there’s a banana or one of those little bottles of 5-hour Energy in the pocket, that’s a resident. If the pockets are empty, it might be a surgeon. If there’s a stethoscope, that person is probably in internal medicine or a cardiologist. A dermatologist carries a penlight.
