Grey's Anatomy...Scrubs??

Wow, people must really have a thing about wearing what they see people wear on TV.

Some company decided to market a new line of scrubs. Not just any scrubs . . . Grey's Anatomy scrubs, as worn by the actors on the show models that resemble the actors on the show. As seen on Grey's Anatomy!*

*As seen in Grey's Anatomy Magazine. Not to be confused with the popular TV show.

(Hmm, I suppose if they really want to resemble the actors on the show they need to get rid of the Dr. Burke lookalike in their catalogue. Oooooh. Burn.)

Actually, this is great! I'll admit it - Grey's Anatomy is the real reason I wanted to become a doctor, so now I can look and live the overdramatized soap-opera disguised as medicine that I rarely watch!

(I actually don't watch Grey's...to be honest, I had to look up the name of the black actor on The Angry Medic's blog).

Too bad the tv show Scrubs can't make their own set of scrubs. Who would buy "Scrubs scrubs"?

Then again, I'll stop making fun of these now that I realize - if they were House scrubs, I'd probably actually buy them.

Top 10 list: Things I learned by watching House, M.D.

Special thanks to Comrade for his joint authorship of this post.

1. Things will only go wrong when the doctor is in the room (unless it's before the patient enters the hospital).

2. X-ray, MRI, CT scan, and ultrasound technicians don't exist. Attractive, high-profile doctors do all the work.

3. Real hospitals don't have nurses, unless the doctor is making a snappy remark to them, or they are extras walking around in the background.

4. Patients are rarely ugly.

5. House doesn't need a mask in the OR, he has sterile breath.

6. There is entertaining music every time a doctor thinks up a correct diagnosis.

7. Harassment and manipulaiton aren't inappropriate; rather, they are funny.

8. If you want to do a procedure on a patient and they or their family says no, you simply aren't smart enough to get them to change their mind. There is a way, figure it out.

9. The smartest doctors use vicodin.

10. Everyone lies.
