ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

White coat

A white coat is like a special piece of clothing that doctors wear when they see their patients. It's usually really white and clean. Sometimes it's also called a doctor's coat. Imagine it like a superhero's cape, but for doctors instead of superheroes. When you see a doctor wearing a white coat, it helps you know that they are a doctor and that they are there to help you feel better.
