At the VA my ARNP was a female who gave me a prostate exam and once she had a female trainee with her who did a real full physical exam. I lost my male family doctor when Obamacare became the law of the land and I ended up with a female doctor who demonstrated how I should do my own testicle exam plus she did the prostate exam. Scrubs look too much like a uniform. I think shirt and tie is supreme, and a sharp suit looks good on consultants. Oh, and certain hospitals are liable to have a moan if you wear scrubs in certain places, i.e. outside of theatres, so they might not be keen on extending it to everywhere in a hospital. 0. reply.
