Holiday Scrubs
Holiday scrubs are a somewhat new development in the clothing choices open to medical professionals. In the past it not matter if it was a holiday, scrubs were white and sterile looking, thus giving rise to the quip about the “gods in white.” Yet as time went on, medical professionals realized that their white garb was eyed with less than enthusiasm by patients who were taken aback by the sight of bodily fluids on these clothes; similarly, surgeons complained of eye strain when dealing with people dressed in eye-blinding white, who worked under extreme lights in a white operating room. Thus, suddenly the scrubs were open to different colors. Very soon manufacturers also realized that holiday scrubs were another viable alternative for medical professionals.

Today, it is not unusual to be greeted by a team of receptionists wearing a holiday scrub jackets, shown to an exam room by an individual in holiday nursing scrubs – if you are at a pediatrician’s office it will most likely be Disney holiday scrub tops – and to have a physician’s assistant with adorable snowman patch holiday scrubs take your vitals. While doctors do not usually wear scrubs in private practice, there are those at the hospitals who will also be getting in the spirit of the time, and wear holiday scrub tops.

The colors are usually bright and cheerful, and the goal is to allow the medical personnel to add a bit of individuality to this uniform, while at the same time providing aesthetically pleasing attire to those who deal with the public in usually less than perfect circumstances. Holiday scrubs are here to stay and it is interesting to see what manufacturers will come up with next.

At this point in time the majority of holiday scrubs uses the well known holiday print patterns for the scrubs. Cheap holiday scrub tops almost always feature Santa Claus or another depiction thereof, while entire holiday scrubs uniforms oftentimes are themed to such an extent that the entire uniform makes a pleasing fashion statement. It is surprising how comfortable and practical even discount holiday scrubs can be, and for the discerning medical professional who loves to color coordinate there are even outfits the color of peaches. Holiday scrubs now come in such a variety of patterns that even the different pieces of the uniform may become accessories rather than just uniforms. Thus, if you are in the medical field, go ahead and purchase a holiday scrub jacket, some cheap holiday scrubs and maybe even some holiday flip flop scrub tops and just see how this little splash of seasonal color and merriment will cause your patients to get to a point where they will be more at ease with you.
