I sometimes see people wearing scrubs in public. In case you don’t know which scrubs I am referring to, see below
Is this suppsoed to be some kind of flex, where you’re letting the public know you have an important job?
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the work these people do, but we have to ask, who would actually be wearing this attire in public?
Doctors do not wear scrubs- they often wear suits underneath a lab coat
Surgeons do wear scrubs- when they are about to perform procedures. There’s a caveat to that though- they wouldn’t walk directly into an operating room from the street. They have to go through a thorough sanitation procedure with clean scrubs that have not been worn outside of a sterile environment. This is for everyone’s safety.
So if doctors and surgeons aren’t wearing scrubs in public, who is then?
Nurses, RNs, Nurse’s aides.
That’s it.
