Dr Tweetie Pie gets backing from parents and children

Pediatricians should drop the white doctors' coats and wear T-shirts with cartoon characters instead according to a study carried out at the Medi-Uni Graz in Austria and published in Acta Paediatrica. Doctors were alternately asked to wear three different clothing types while dealing with child patients, the traditional white lab coat with a shirt and tie, or a smart white polo T-shirt and finally a dark blue casual T-shirt complete with the cartoon character Tweetie Pie.
