Subject: Digest Number 1257 Lab Coats

[Guest guest]

Rachel,

 

ok, good points. But home laundering is not sufficient to

disinfect lab coats, if we're talking OSHA. Therefore,

laundered and pressed is really not the issue. Most Western

med clinics have gone to disposable lab coats, made out of

some wierd synthetic (non-absorbable) material. Only the

docs sometimes show in freshly pressed lab coats,if they

wear coats.

I'm sure you look very professional in your coat though.
