Scrubs

17Jun/116

I'd like to take a moment to thank the field of Emergency Medicine for something I hold very dear: scrubs.

Wake up, throw on a pair of glorified pajamas, and roll into work as an acceptably dressed physician? That, friends, is awesome.

I had a friend who went into psychiatry because he could eat and pee when he wanted. Liking scrubs has pushed me towards fields in a similar manner.

Not to mention you can pretty much wear any pair of shoes to work and its deemed acceptable.

I loved working in a cardiac cath lab, not just because of the scrubs, but the laundry service. Take off your scrubs and put them in a hamper for someone else to wash? Ahhh…

Glorified pajamas. That is so true! I love wearing mine because they’re so comfy. )

Best part of this job. Or perhaps second or third best.
