I noticed that my PCP docs used to wear regular people clothes, nicely dressed. Maybe some white coats but not mine.
Then COVID hit and they all started wearing scrubs and masks and gloves - and they still do, except 50-50 on masks. But still, a lot of masks.
It's like they had to just do what THE Medical Profession™ does. I mean, they are THE Science™ and stuff.
But they're - we're? - part of a large hospital network system guild thingcand I assume that, once the lights went up, they just had to do the dance. Or else they'd probably be what is now known as DOGEed.
Yes, the lack of critical thinking is huge in the medical profession. It's funny, regarding the scrups, I think sometimes is a matter of status. As an european-born living in Florida, it still shocks me to see people in their scrubs in the supermarkets, restaurants, the street... even the surgery cap sometimes. I studied veterinarian medicine back in Spain. If I would have dared to wear my scrubs in the faculty restaurant I would have been expelled, and this was the restaurant serving only veterinarian students, not a normal restaurant, but, it was totally forbidden to wear the scrubs outside the surgery room, the visit rooms and the necropsy/anatomy laboratories. Has the scrub being worn in a heart surgery previously visited an starbucks? I hope not, but, can we be sure? When I realized this was not forbidden by the medical profession in USA I lost all faith in them. They just want to show everybody they are doctors/nurses/medical professionals, not realizing they also show they lack of hygiene and profesionalism.
