One of the nastiest thing i have heard... Suits can not washed, imagine the germs you are carrying... YUCK

To be fair the physicians I see who do wear suits have them on during non-clinical/admin days

I just caved and bought my first few pairs of figs at the end of my second year of residency… I was really against buying my own scrubs since that’s gross, but my hospital is dumb and doesn’t allow non-surgical residents access to hospital scrubs, so

I’m actually in nice clothes for clinic today, but that’s because I’m running out of clean scrubs since I’ve been putting off doing laundry…

I'm definitely a scrubs person. But I believe everyone should wear whatever they want whether its hospital or clinic to feel comfortable. If thats scrubs fine. If thats dress clothes also fine.

Side note- I've always preferred wearing the free surgical hospital scrubs. I wanted to get into the FIGS hype cause everyone raves about them but they don't seem to fit me as well as the free hospital scrubs do. Usually people have the opposite issue. Considering the price I think thats crazy. Anyone else have this issue with FIGS not fitting well ? My biggest issue is that the waistband always seems super loose. And overall it seems like a weird shape.

Also for what it's worth not only are ties microbially gross, in my opinion they almost always look worse than a top button unbuttoned dress shirt.

I dont really believe that argument. I think it was for the "woke" types to get rid of any attire that distibuishes a man from a woman.. And a man in a suit, obviously is using his heirarchy as tyrannical esp if he is a physician.

Oh okay. So instead of a seldom-laundered useless fashion accessory being dropped because it is (using common sense) probably dirty and a nidus for potential infection, you think it is more likely that people want to bring down the tyranny of male physicians in suits because they want gender equality or something. I guess we're going to agree to disagree on this one.

Yeah, the most passionate anti-tie folks i've met have been primarily men... who usually wanted a little freedom for their necks

There’s no real evidence that it acts as a fomite, but like even so, it just seems gross so why are people so resistant to get rid of them lol.

Anesthesia here. All hospital scrubs all the time because I hate laundry and went to Catholic school so I’m averse to ties.
