A recent article in the JAMA news, is that a recent survey of Doctors,  
Nurses, Aides, Scientist and Lab Workers, that wear medical wear:
 
50 percent change their wear weekly.  Actually it was just more then  50 
percent
The rest of those who were surveyed, changed their medical clothing once a  
month.
Time, money and resources was the main reason for not changing their  
medical clothing.
Operating and Surgical wear, NOT INCLUDED.
 
This means that a large percentage of those entrusted to you in providing  
assistance and medical service are wearing jackets, coats, smocks, lab coats 
and  a number of other products that are teaming with a growing population 
of germs  and bacteria.  Not to mention viral infections and a host of any 
other  breeding signatures of someone's sneeze, WAITING FOR YOUR ARRIVAL.
 
Cologne and Perfume may hide some scent, but it doesn't kill.  Do you  dare 
ask your doctor, nurse or healthcare aide when was the last time they  
changed and washed their scrubs?  You might be surprised.
 
Best Wishes
