That is same as just being obviously rude to the patients--why do it?<br/>b If people judge your professionalism by your attire and there is a correlation between their perception of quality and risk of lawsuit, why would anyone not wear a shirt, tie and white lab coat when seeing a patient?

As she squatted down to the child's level the tight scrub pants rode down sufficiently to show a whopper of a whale tail. Of course that should not have been much of a surprise as I had previously marveled in the OR at the conspicuous absence of panty lines.

I’ve reprimanded students and residents about this and been laughted at by other faculty for “making a big deal out of nothing.”

If someone is so out of touch with reality that they can’t wear the correct size scrubs, I don’t want them treating my patients.
