For over a century women have been vital part in the medical field but it has not always been as comfortable a position as one would like. With today’s advancements in technology, women in medicine are getting a make over.
On the morning of Tuesday, January 23, 1849, a woman stood on the platform of the Presbyterian Church in Geneva, N.Y., and received a diploma showing she had earned a degree of Doctor of Medicine. This woman was Elizabeth Blackwell and she became the first woman to complete a course of study at a medical college and receive the M.D. degree.
Since that day the door for woman Doctors has been wide open and today women lead in all fields from health care to research. They have been a driving factor in developing new medicines, cures and have saved countless lives along the way. Women have thrived in a world that once relegated them to nurses or caretakers but the world of medicine; one that was traditionally male dominated has struggled to keep up with the demanding needs of the female professional. Since 1849 women have been serving the public with their knowledge, skill and caring in the doctor offices and hospitals but the attire (the well known lab coat and medical scrubs) have been designed for the male practitioner.
Of course those medical scrubs have been given flowery patterns, silly designs and sometimes with demeaning connotations. If you were lucky you could find scrubs designed in a pale shade of pink but that has been as close as you could get to scrubs designed purely with women in mind.
With recently new advancement in technologies and with a renewed sense of female empowerment companies have been developing new scrubs that are designed fit the female body and that are designed for practicality and comfortableness while working those long shifts in the emergency room. A new generation of clothing has been put out on the market that has rejuvenated medical scrubs. No longer do you have to suffer with square scrubs made from uncomfortable materials.
Some manufactures have started using materials that effectively help to move moisture away from the body to help keep you cool on those busy days. Not only does this help to keep you dry he helps to repel any unwanted fluids that might otherwise get soaked into your scrubs. These manufactures have also designed scrubs that help repel odors from scrubs so they remain fresh. This helps them last longer so your investment ends up saving you money in the end because you will replace them less often.
With today’s changing tides in the medical fields it’s important to blend the traditions of yesterday with the new evolutions in technology of today and the world of medical scrubs is no different. Today’s scrubs for women are safer, longer lasting and flattering.
