This thread reminds me of a funny story from when I was in nursing school. The men had to wear standard white uniform pants (which was nice - with a zipper and belt loops and all) and a smock top with a "priest" collar (the white part).

One of my assigned patients was an elderly gentlemen named Wayne who got into an accident going the wrong way on the interstate. We called him "wrong-way-Wayne" and boy - he loved his Demerol.

Anyway, my instructor was popping in room to room looking for me and she asked Wayne if I had been in his room. He said no, then he said, "but the barber was just in here."

Being a guy is only temporary for you! :yikes:

Actually, way back when [exactly when I don't know] Barbers were also Doctors, or vis versa.

I know that barbers used to be surgeons at one time. Supposedly that is related to the origination of the barber pole with the red and white stripes. The stripes were originally bandages that were bloody and/or clean.

Here's a link I found.

I am also a large man and found out years ago that wearing suspenders under my scrubs is beneficial. I wear a lab coat because I keep so many supplies in the pockets. Most female nurses also wear a lab coat for the same reason.

we had to wear white pants and a royal blue top. :frustrated:

The top was different than the women's but it was by no means manly.
The pants were tapered at the bottom so they didn't go over your shoe.

:firedup:

We had white lab coats that we were required to buy but I didn't wear mine one single time.

I had on navy blue bikini underwear one day during clinicals and the girls wouldn't let me hear the end of it. Everyone in the hospital knew, obviously...you could tell from a mile away. I just forgot to change before I left home.

IMO, it just gave all the girls an excuse to check out my backside :hahaha:
