Yes. he is in fact the bad guy because he’s not vaccinated and his smokers cough likely means the general public has had to deal with him for a long time. and yet he feels so wronged by the world he feels empowered … in this case to baselessly attack caregivers. coooooolzies
So, in fairness, I have and still occasionally do see folks in their scrubs outside of the clinic. But that’s a fresh pair of scrubs. You can tell, precisely because these outfits aren’t coated in bodily fluids.
Yeah wearing scrubs was traditionally meant as clothing you could easily get rid of if you got bodily fluids on yourself. They are cheap, thin material, and originally had colors meant to make it easy to identify blood if they became contaminated (although that part is not really adhered to in my experience). They are not, and never were, intended for sterility. Sterile clothing is donned and doffed within the OR or relevant treatment room. If scrubs are contaminated or used for PPE purposes they must be left at the facility and the employer is responsible for washing or disposal (by US regulations). However many people in medical facilities wear them as a uniform instead, including administrators, general caretakers, and even custodial services depending on the location. The important thing is the intent, and by most modern standards PPE which would get contaminated is worn over the scrubs.
Hell I went to the eye doctor the other day and everyone in that place was in scrubs. I dunno who would be squirting eye fluid all over them so I assume they all arrived and leave in those scrubs.
There’s also a bunch of contexts where workers wear scrubs but the exposure to contaminants is low or basically nonexistent
Like I worked in a psych hospital and the nurse practitioners were required to wear scrubs. They saw people on an outpatient basis 90% of the time or more. Their job was to sit in an office, have someone come in, interview them for a bit, write scripts, then repeat until the day was done basically. They may take temperature or blood pressure.
They were required to wear scrubs because occasionally if the inpatient dept was short staffed they would be asked to come on the floor and there you would have a much higher risk of bodily fluid exposure. But the vast majority of the time their scrubs were absolutely pristine
Not to mention the number of non-medical professionals that wear scrubs for work. Hell, if this guy goes to jail/prison he’s probably not going to like his new wardrobe.
They correctly identified themselves as the bad guy.
Much like TLC, he apparently don’t want no scrubs
What’s the H in GTFOH stand for?
