We used to have to wash our own scrubs, then the hospital gave us the option to eother let them or continue to do it ourselves. I never minded washing them, because if I had been involved in anything seriously nasty, I changed into new scrubs at work. One thing reading your blog has made me do is to make sure I have ID on me, somewhere. This was also a problem after Katrina. A lot of the people here did not have ID with them, especially the children.
