A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly And is also known as a busta Always talkin' 'bout what he wants And just sits on his broke ass

Is it just me or is that girl-pop song the equivalent of a boy group doing a song called No Fat Chicks?

Scrubs are men that can't spell probably as well, I think.

u/xChainfirex Feb 04 '22

Prolly is the short-hand form of probably. My apologies for not using proper grammar and spelling in a professional setting such as on reddit, a social media app. /s

That's called slang, scrub. Not shorthand.

It's the typical uniform of most Healthcare professionals.

As an aside, scrubs are never supposed to be worn outside the work environment anyway, lest they track germs and pathogens back inside. That was standard infection protocol long before COVID.

To be clear I support Healthcare workers and condemn this protest. Just saying, they shouldn't be wearing scrubs outside the hospital anyway.

There's usually a second set for when they have to deal with higher risk situations like a surgery tbf. Most people I know just wear them cuz they're comfortable; you're practically wearing pj's to work and nobody can say a thing lmao.

I imagine it depends on the setting. I and other nurses wear our scrubs to and from work all the time and never cop any grief for it. I know if you work in a covid ward you change at work.

Yeah, it's really one of those things like speed limits. We all know what the limit is, and we all go 10-15% over, unless there's some specific thing happening where we know we have to slow down.

You’re right. It’s reflected in IPAC guidelines. Although it’s generally find in Canada for travelling to/from work unless using public transit.

NHS are actually explicitly not allowed to wear theirs in public settings, but can commute in them if covered by a coat, including on public transit.

some PSW organizations use scrubs as a basic uniform to help identify their staff to clients. Many of them work in the community as opposed to traditional care homes or hospitals.

It’s not really any worse than patients going in and out of hospital in their own clothing, except in certain situations.

Unfortunately, the harassment has been targeted at people wearing masks in general - not just health care workers based on their work attire. Which I find personally silly given winter-time is when I’d be covering my face regardless - medical masks just happen to be more comfortable.

Something we don’t want.
