Comment of the week: My scrubs are part of the treatment plan

It’s sad that some people pushed the dress code too far by wearing objectionable garb. I like to think of my colorful and whimsical patterns as part of the treatment plan. When a person is looking at my jacket to find a picture of her dog, she is not thinking about the shot I am preparing to give her. It is an icebreaker and a conversation starter. Distraction therapy. So sad to have to go back to plain solid colors.
