What a load of tosh. Here we are rammed way into the 21st century and people still think what we wear is so crucial. I wear a selection of Marvel T-shirts when meeting my paediatric patients, partly to suggest (genuine) common ground and partly to appear less authoritarian. For adult lists it depends what mode of transport I’m using but I never wear ties or formal shirts.
I do introduce myself to every patient and I always try to treat them in a propitious and inclusive manner. Friendly beats pompous, without fail.
