Doctors across Australia have been sharing photos of their wackiest pair of socks to raise awareness of doctor suicide
Doctors across Australia have been sharing photos of their wackiest pair of socks to raise awareness of doctor suicide.
The #crazysocks4docs campaign was launched in Melbourne by cardiologist Dr Geoff Toogood and ENT surgeon Dr Eric Levi.
“Doctors are people too,” Dr Brad McKay, a GP and TV presenter, tweeted. “We get stressed, depressed & even wear odd socks.”
Here’s a few fun examples of the sock frenzy that took the Twittersphere by storm this week:

#Socks4Docs is such an important initiative – we need to care for those who care for us. So cold in CBR I might keep these on for a while! pic.twitter.com/YlIaaMlqF9
