Vending machine with scrubs meant for pharma reps. Who knew! What are your thoughts on this, as I came across this post, complaining about them. I’d imagine this is done for hygienic purposes - ie, keeping germs from your clothing off of patient floors and decreasing exposure to patients in general. Doctors do usually get these for free. So question is: is this being done because the hospital is clever entrepreneurially (charging what I assume is the pharmaceutical company and not the rep themselves) or because it is a necessity? Who should bear the cost of the rental and wash?
Are you kidding me 🤦🏼♂️
Who sholuld bear the cost of a new vending machine with proper design? 🤣
These unique paper “vendor” scrubs allow sales reps to be easily identified as sales reps and not hospital employees. This has been a welcome development in most hospitals.
They loaded up docs with full on group lunches in the past, so paying for their own self-identifying paper scrubs shouldn’t be such a huge deal really, right?🙃

5moInteresting. Reps for device companies do scrub into surgery. I’ve never thought about where they got their scrubs. They don’t work for the hospital. Costs the hospital if they walk off with scrubs. I get it.
