    There are a ton of people pretending to be doctors on Tik Tok. Anybody wearing scrubs and a stethoscope at home is LARPing.

        I’d actually believe it if they looked like they had a long shift, and a lot of hospital shifts are already 12 hours, at least in my experience supporting various medical systems (as in groups of hospitals, clinics, etc).

        Then they can have their scrubs on for a short little “check in” with viewers. Most people who wear scrubs sweat their asses off all day, and most likely have at least one strangers bodily fluid on them. They change out of it.

        My wife, for example once came home, stripped in the laundry room and tossed it in the wash, then went to shower. She wouldn’t speak of what happened. Her position is also unlikely to deal with bodily fluids, but there we were. She also carried a pair of scrubs in her car trunk in case she needed to change mid shift.

        Shit, sometimes quite literally, happens in hospitals and no one is immune.

          My sister is the same, she’s an ER nurse in a high traffic area and almost always strips in the garage and throw’s everything in a hot wash. Based on her stories, I’d be burning a few of the scrubs lol.
