In a move widely hailed as \u201crevolutionary\u201d and \u201cvisionary\u201d the UNSW MedSoc Bookshop has announced it will be including a pair of RM William\u2019s signature craftsmen boots in the 2019 \u201cPhase 1 Essentials\u201d book package. Joining other med-school essentials such as \u201cTalley & O\u2019Connors Clinical Examination\u201d the versatile footwear will prepare incoming students for life on the wards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about time,\u201d reported Phase 2 student who looked like his name was probably Chad. \u201cI didn\u2019t realise how important a good pair of RMs to my medical education until I was nearly in third year! You definitely don\u2019t want to be the only student without a good pair of boots, the doctors will literally laugh you off the wards.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is understood that the significance of R.M. boots has increased in recent years as the traditional white coat has fallen out of fashion. Alongside the a black-on-black Littman Cardiology III stethoscope hung around the neck (another staple of the bookshop), R.M.s have become the only way for medical students to distinguish themselves from what the Chad-look-alike Phase 2 student has dubbed \u201cscum allied health\u201d such as physiotherapy or worse yet, speech pathology.<\/p>\n

According to an international student our team approached, R.M. Williams boots serve another purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a way of building rapport with rural patients. They look at you and think, \u2018Oh wow this guy won\u2019t understand me,\u2019 but then they see the boots and everything changes. All of a sudden, you\u2019re true blue and they start treating you like one of the \u2018mates\u2019. Suddenly it\u2019s all – what\u2019s that phrase? \u2013 everyone gets a fair shake of the sauce bottle! Easily bumps you up to a P+\u201d.<\/p>\n

Whispers of including a Grey\u2019s Anatomy boxset have been a source of added excitement amongst certain circles. For now, included with the boots will be one 500ml bottle of R.M. Williams leather conditioner and a completely unshakeable sense of superiority.<\/p>\n
