I clearly remember a time when medical nursing scrubs were as plain as they come. I assume that during that time they were only practical uniforms, and were mainly white to keep with the look of a sterile environment. Surely the doctors and nurses became bored with the same old scrubs, and somewhere along the line, someone made this known.
Today, they come in many colors. Not only are these more fun for those who wear them, but this development is also better for the patients. What these uniforms no represent is a feeling of comfort to patients. Sterile can be scary, colors and patterns are not. For patients, feeling more at ease while in the hospital is of great importance.
As with many things, we learn more about what does and does not work over time. Medical nursing scrubs are a great example of this. Colors being worn in a medical setting are a natural fit. It will certainly be interesting to see how clothing continues to be used to allow doctors and nurses to look great while providing another layer of comfort to those who they care for.
