Do scrubs really help the patients recognize who are the caregivers?
Discount Medical 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?

I worked at a hospital for a while and yes, I believe everyone who works there should wear scrubs, espeically the health care providers. This keeps down on any one coming in who doesn’t belong there. Also, if someone comes in to do my IV, I want to know they know what they are doing! And a pair of scrubs gives a little piece of mind
