When I first read this thread, automatically I envisioned a VERY hairy chest, because I can't imagine why it would be an issue if there's a "normal" amount. Hence, my reply.

I think it is fine. I've seen plenty of docs with chest hair popping out of their scrubs.

That's just my "medical" opinion, but is not indicative of my personal preferences outside of the work place.
Ahhh, how can you compare chest hair to axillary hair. How is evident chest hair seen as less than clean and as less than professional. They shower, so the chest hair is clean. And it does not affect the mental abilities of ones professional demeanor.

Just because a doctor does it, does not make it right.

Yesterday, during a code, I looked over and saw the back-hair popping out of the scrub top one of our surgeons was wearing -and got a little distracted...because I couldn't stop staring, and I was thinking: "wow, is he really that hairy??" ..hmm... however, I think it'd be wicked hot to wear a t-shirt all the time under those scrubs ...especially with all that hair! Yikes!

I think most of the women would be filled with righteous indignation if any of the men on this forum insisted that some feature that we find unattractive should be covered or hidden somehow, no matter how uncomfortable it makes her while doing her job. I do hope this silly trend of finding hair on men's bodies somehow unattractive goes away.

I'm a man. I have hair on my body. Get over it.

Hows this? I'll wear a tshirt every day so you don't have to look at my Ron Burgandy 1970s porn star chest....
You will wear a hair net every day to keep those head hairs from falling into my patients wounds.
Deal?

Hi- THis thread pops up no my computer almost daily---I bothered to read the one today-- PORN star is RON JEREMY--not Burgundy-- He is on "reality" tv now---I never saw his "films"----Just wanted to set the record on that "hairy" point.....(I don't know if he does or EVER did wear a t-shirt---but in regard to his films-- bet he was mostly going "commando" or "free-ballin"-- Which ever term is now in vogue.....
