At least, this has been my experience (outside the medical field).

This has been my experience within the medical field as well. I do my hair and put on a little makeup so I look like I got more than 4 hours of sleep, but normally I'm wearing scrubs, or maybe pants and a sweater. I've never once worn a skirt to work, but still get these comments. Maybe people have been watching too much Grey's Anatomy and think we're all going to pull an Izzy and fall in love with our patient.

I hate to break it to you, but most of us have tried this, and still get comments. We're not all going all out for work and then complaining about it. It just seems that if a female is in the habit of showering once a day and hasn't been cursed with mutiple deformities, the men in the medical field are going to make comments.
