Do scrubs really help the patients recognize who are the caregivers?
Posted by: admin : Category: scrubs
I am a healthcare provider and am required to wear scrubs. Today many of the patients asked me why the staff wore scrubs because they never know who is part of the medical staff to begin with. Should medical facilities be required to wear scrubs or regular clothes? What are your opinions?
I think that it is a side affect that developed over time. Scrubs have become sort of an “icon” associated with health care workers.
To answer the second part of your question, yes employees should be required to wear scrubs. Nobody wants foreign body fluids on their jeans, or do they?
