Andrea talks about the media and scrubs
Designer scrubs have been making their way into many more medical facilities. Ten years ago, there
was not much of a choice when it came to scrub uniforms. Now that shows like Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs,
and Private Practice have made their mark, so has the designer hospital uniform market. Although
someone may have realized long ago that a nurse did not need to be shaped like a box in order to
maintain the all-familiar trusted look,fitted medical uniforms never really caught on up until
recently.
In the past five years, several scrub manufacturers have developed a line of scrubs specifically
aimed to be more flattering. Still fully functional with full range of motion, the newer scrubs are
made to compliment the body, rather than to hide it. The look of the scrubs has not changed so
drastically that the "untrained" eye would notice the difference. But to someone who wears scrubs
every day, the changes areenormous.
Many studies have been conducted on how influential the media can be. Being influenced by the media
is not always detrimental. Most people know that when they look good, they feel good. When someone
in the medical field gets dressed and feels great about the way he or she looks, he or she may have a
more positive outlook on the day. While most of the time the word 'contagious' is not desirable in
the medical field,every now and again, something good will go around: smiles and positive feelings
are often contagious. Looking good is certainly not the only way to create a positive outlook, but
it definitely does not hurt.
In light of the fashionable scrubs trend, many retailers are now considering adding luxury maternity
scrubs, custom-fitted nursing uniforms, and more stylish lab coats. Not only do those who sport the
medical clothing feel better, but also it has been mentioned that patients are more trusting and
respond better to someone who appears to be well groomed than by someone who, for lack of better
words, looks like they just rolled out of bed. It looks like Isobel (Izzie) Stevens and Meredith
Grey have started a healthy trend, one that certainly does not seem like it will fade away anytime
soon.
