My husband appreciates the recent infusion of new scrubs. However, could I beg a favor of you?
Could you please pre-wash new scrubs with a high dose of fabric softener?
There's nothing like lying down next to your husband in bed on a Friday night only to listen to him to him bemoan a four hour surgery in a new scrub top... which subsequently left him with raw nipples.
I think we can all agree... scrubs should not double as nipple sandpaper.
Much appreciated,
Your Doctor's Wife
LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I did when he told me! :)
DeleteThis makes me laugh! My husband complains of the very same thing. After I chuckled, I handed him some lanolin from my days of nursing our kiddos. :)
ReplyDeleteThe perils of surgery!!!
DeleteLOL. I bet you the actors on Grey's Anatomy always have their scrubs washed with the best fabric softener money can buy, and yet for the actual doctors...
ReplyDeleteThat and they are the only doctors I know who have their scrubs tailored and fitted!
DeleteAs a woman, I had never considered this possibility... for once, I am grateful for the invention of the bra!
ReplyDeleteThat does put one bullet in the "PRO" list for bras, doesn't it?! :)
DeleteI know, right? I'm putting that down FOR sure.
DeleteIt does show though: they should get MEN to wash the clothes. Because women? We don't have to worry about nipple sandpaper!!

Haha yuck and ouch!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteHahaha! My husband always wears a t-shirt under his & has never had this problem
ReplyDeleteHe never liked wearing t-shirts under scrubs. I think he gets too hot wearing his lead vest.
DeleteHaha, I'm with Sarah! He needs some undershirts. Or, you could get him some pasties as a joke... :)
ReplyDeletePasties for Father's Day!!! Love it! I'm writing that one down...
DeleteBut just think of all the money you save by not having to buy nipple sandpaper.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but apparently I'll be investing in some wife-beaters. :(
DeleteI really hate to laugh at his pain but it is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteHAHA love this post! I get sucked into washing all of Doctor J's scrubs at home because he doesn't like getting them out of the scrub machine!
ReplyDeleteHaha! This just made me laugh out loud. I will make a note to wash all of C's scrubs before he wears them.
