    > "I can assure you we did write all over them"
You and your colleagues deliberately chose to carry a magic-marker (and no paper), in order to deliberately write on your clothes, rather than the more simple expedient of paper and pen/pencil?

This seems irrational, inexpedient, and inappropriate for anyone delivering any aspect of medical care.

Yes, we did all that - we had to carry markers to label culture media in containers such as petri dishes and universal containers. You can easily misplace a notepad, but its hard to lose your labcoat.

I did say we were sloppy.

We were not in contact with any patients and at least in the UK, no-one that is ever wears a white coat these days.

I find it somewhat offensive that I am lying and/or unprofessional about this.
