My husband is not in the medical field, but he loves to wears scrub style shirts in the summer. When he first asked me quite a few years ago to make him some, I thought he was weird! I finally decided to get a pattern and make him one. He of coarse wanted something in a tropical style. There was so much variety and so many fun bright colors to choose from and once I made it, couldn't believe how simple the pattern was. Now, I try to find new fabrics whenever I am shopping. 
We were on a cruise a few years ago and people were asking where he got the scrubs and were surprised when they found out the shirts were homemade. Last year we went to see Jimmy Buffett, since we live in Minnesota and the closest he usually performs is at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. We get on a bus with numerous other Parrotheads and travel across the two states partying the whole way. Along the way, we stop here and there and at one particular stop my husband was standing near the bus when a lady was trying to take a picture. He thought she was photographing someone else and stepped aside. She refocused by him again and he stepped aside. After a few minutes the lady told him that picture she was trying to take was of him in his pirate themed scrub. For those of you who are not familiar with Buffett music, he writes about the ocean, sailing, traveling and pirates. Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late...Jimmy Buffett - A Pirate Looks at 40
