Scrubs as a fashion statement
Back in January, our newsletter’s MediaWatch section included a story on the dangers of scrubs as fashion statement.
This past weekend, the CBC’s Sunday Edition ran their coverage of this story:
We all know hospitals are dangerous places, literally crawling with dangerous bugs. In fact, around 8,000 Canadians a year die of infections caused by microbes such as C.Difficile which pollute hospital emergency wards, treatment rooms and patients’ rooms. But what can happen when all those hospital bugs begin turning up in coffee shops, on public transit, or even grocery stores carried by hospital personnel wearing their green scrubs, their uniforms, outside the hospital?
Listen to their coverage (in hour 2) here.
