Apparel Scrubs

My congrats go out to Shawna, last month’s winner of our Editor @ Large contest. Shawna is a medical assistant in Ohio and she wears scrub uniforms on a daily

basis. Dickies scrubs have always been her favorite, “they are very comfortable, long-lasting, and I don't ever have to iron them--I just spray them with some wrinkle releaser and I am good to go!! (lol)” she said. Shawna entered our contest on the blog and here’s her winning comment:

I am a Medical Assistant and I think that my biggest "pet peeve" would have to be dealing with (or fighting with) insurance companies. If a physician is ordering tests or medication for a patient the insurance company should not be allowed to dictate whether they think that the treatment or prescribed medication is medically necessary. If the physician gives a patient samples of medication that is IMPROVING their condition, but is not on the insurance formulary, it will not be covered until two FORMULARY medications have been tried and failed. Since when do the insurance companies know what is better for the patient than the physician?

Thanks for your entry Shawna and congratulations again. Have fun spending your $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s!
