WHEN I FIRST WORE SCRUBS.
WHEN I FIRST WORE SCRUBS. I am astonished to learn that clean scrubs for hospital workers are not routine. Twenty-four years ago when Annalisa was born, I was provided with scrubs before I went in the delivery room, and it seemed a matter of course. I remember the green smock, clean hat and clean booties because I quickly put the hat on one of my shoes, and then couldn’t make the rest of the outfit come out right.
I’ve always adored this story. Admittedly I first loved it because it was about my birth (what kid isn’t fascinated by learning about how he or she came into the world?), then because of the wonderful mental image, and now because it’s such a lovely character piece. Thank you for sharing it here!
