    Side note, why is she bringing her scrubs outside the hospital? Don’t you return them after your shift in America, to be washed and such?

                I’m a massage therapist 😄

                The preceding conversation taught me that scrub-wearing people who work in hospitals don’t wear their scrubs outside the facility & don’t have to wash them themselves, they leave their scrubs at work and there’s a separate crew responsible for scrubs laundry.

                My life is not like that.

                The worst filth my scrubs ever encounter are my own body sweat & occasional massage lotion mishaps.

                  Hey, massage therapy is good for well-being, too. 🩵 Maybe not as “noble” per se but it’s a good service for those that afford it. 😁✌️

                    Thank you yeah I work my ass off to complete exhaustion every day, and I deserve $1,000 per client, but I only get paid $1,000 every two weeks 😭 and anyone who can afford massages can certainly afford to pay me $1,000 per massage. I must find a way to make this happen.

      Do you mean why did ICE abduct her from work inside the hospital and drag her outside kicking & screaming without giving her a chance to change her clothes?

        No.

        But if that’s what happened, I have the answer to my question.

        I’m also wondering why ICE abducted her period, not really specifically from where. 👍 But like I said, this was a side note.

          Sign this paper saying you won’t talk about this and we’ll let you go.

          According to the secret stuff law, if you talk about this we’ll arrest you again.

          Pick one.

      These are likely not the drab, standard, facility-provided surgical or operating scrubs that even the I.T. staff has to change in to (or don over top) before crossing the red line into a clean zone, ‘red’ room or room with isolation precautions. These are the other personally-supplied garments staff wear to look professional in a medical setting. These are the same ones that are sometimes replaced with T-shirts and such on casual friday or department-coordinated Hallowe’en costumes on October 31.

      sometimes; my mum doesn’t do that often, preferring to wash them at home. in her words, when asked why, she said: “the detergent the hospital uses smells like used clorox wipes left out in the sun and then freezed for 1 day”. how she knows what that smells like is beyond me…

        That’s the first thing that came to mind, like, wouldn’t you want to contain that mess? Wash instantly?
