So I just got my first pair of scrubs! I'm a big guy so I had to buy a big size. I have to chuckle that when I look down I feel like I'm wearing a giant bed sheets or something but when you look in the mirror you are like "oh, they fit fine" this is going to take some getting used to lol.

(I didn't put this in the scrubs section because I was just making a humorous observation)

From the front I look okay, but if you look at me from the side you can see how the scrub top flares out at the bottom because of my stomach.

Unless you're an actor or have an actor's body, scrubs aren't flattering no matter who you are.

Funny story, I had a spanish speaking patient who was hospitalized for a long time. Everyone knew her so well the nurses got to the point we didn't need to use interpreters. One day she asked me through pantomime if I had a mastectomy (chopping motion, pointing at her mastectomy, then pointing at my chest). Thanks scrubs!

Took some pictures with my selfie setting because I didn't have any decent mirrors. Sorry if the quality might be bad.

This is hilarious! Try being almost just about 5 foot tall and a size 0! They do NOT make scrubs that fit and to keep them from dragging on the floor you either learn to sew (I haven't) or pull the pants up over your bra (my dirty lil secret).

One day you'll have gazillions of scrubs somehow. I'm on the smaller end so I get everyones scrubs that are too small for them
