    inspire replied to beyondx4's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    inspire posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have heard this is a good brand. Where is the best place to buy one? Which model do you like? I am not on a tight budget, so I can spend more if a better model/brand is available.
