This sentence is very odd for this forum, but is an interesting note to have in the article, so I decided to put it here for someone to work into more Wiki-appropriate form: [It is family history that the man who started this trend is my great-uncle, Lewis Chandler Foster, MD, Professor of Medicine at Yale University Hospital, New Haven CT. This comes from his brother, my grandfather, but as both men died in 1969 it is not possible to verify this tradition. MHH]
[edit] Moving this page?
A disambiguation page exists for the word Scrub, which lists this page, as well as Scrubs (TV series). I would suggest the Wikipedia page for 'Scrubs' should become a redirect to Scrub, and that the information on this page be moved to Scrubs (clothing). I would like some comments from users of this page before doing this, if possible. --Gpollock 00:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

- It's done. --Gpollock 03:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notes for additions
Some notes I've made: Is scrubs a US only word? Scrubs vs surgical gowns. Materials used - reasons for choice - waterproof, punctureproof, disposable. Special protective materials - e.g. infective cases (HBV, HIV, Congo fever). Washing and sterilisation. --Seejyb 19:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Scrubs isn't a US only word, but I feel that the article is very US-Centric - in my experience it's only in America that 'most hospital staff wear scrubs'. Randomlyred 00:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Out of place?
Reading through the article, the sentence detailing the "origin" of the word seal blue, seems out of place and not needed. --Keylay31 00:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
