[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People wearing scrubs think it’s a badge of honor...guess what, got news for you...it isn’t.  It demonstrates the laziness of the wearer and the incompetence they portray by going into public spaces knowing that is exactly what they wouldn’t wear at home near their loved ones.  [/quote]

I wear scrubs to work. I typically don’t change when I get home. I will sit on my kids beds, sit on the couch, cook in them. It’s not a big deal. At all. I wear PPE when treating patients. No need to worry about the cleanliness of my scrubs. But I know you will - untreated anxiety is a bitch. [/quote]

So stupid, my spouse gets out of scrubs as quickly as possible and always tries to change at work! In general, lots of germs in a hospital everywhere as folks are sick, why would anyone do this is beyond me just basic hygiene! Just like teachers who are always washing hands and keep gallons of sanitizer because they know children are germ carriers in schools and daycares! There is a reason they want you out of hospital as soon as possible when you are well, better to recover at home due to potential of catching germs![/quote]

Every doctor I know does this. None of them stay in scrubs or would wear them around. They change at the hospital. Most nurses I know do the same. I had 2 neighbors who's houses I could see from my front door who lived by me for over 10 years. They both worked with patients in the hospital. I have a good friend who is an emergency room nurse in Fairfax. We've hung out for 4 years. I have never ever seen any of these people in scrubs. When I see someone wearing them outside a medical setting, I assume it's someone from a vets office. [/quote]
