I'm concerned about the infection control risk associated with people wearing medical scrubs outside of work. To me it seems unprofessional.
They've become a status symbol.
Wearing clean scrubs on the way to work I can kinda understand, but on the way home? Or even out on lunch break? What if there’s bodily fluids on them, surely they be put into the hospital wash and not be take home?
I thought scrubs is what you put on at work to protect patients?
