Medical Scrubs are the long-sleeved cotton top worn by doctors, nurses and hospital staff. They are a light everyday shirt, mostly worn for the look of a medical job. They cover the torso, the back and both arms down to the wrists.
The main strength of scrubs is that they are easy to find in any hospital or clinic. Their main cost is that they are thin, so they give only a touch of warmth.
Scrubs fill the Shirt slot, so a jacket or a coat can go on over them. Like other cotton clothing, they rip into a Rag once they are worn out. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Scrubs add only a little warmth and block very little wind. They suit a warm day indoors or a mild summer outing. On a cold day they work best as a base layer under a sweater or a jacket.
The thin cotton is made for comfort at work rather than for a fight. A heavier jacket over the top is the usual answer to zombie bites and scratches.
The Medical T-shirt has the same warmth and wind figures, with shorter sleeves that stop at the upper arm. The long sleeves of the scrubs reach the forearms as well.
Scrubs cannot be worn with a dress or a long dress. Every other layer, from a T-shirt underneath to a coat on top, still fits.
Tailoring
Scrubs are cotton. The Rip Clothing recipe turns them into a Rag, and any character can do that by hand.
Used in Crafting

Locations
Scrubs are a very common find in medical buildings. Side tables and other containers in medical rooms hold a set in more than two of every five checks. Nurses' dressers do nearly as well. Lockers in hospital hallways, break rooms, changing rooms and bathrooms hold a set about one time in four. Morgue shelves, hospital and dentist storage, and laboratory desks are also good places to look. Army storage rooms hold them now and then.

Notes
- Scrubs suit a doctor or nurse look, alongside the Medical Coat.
- They make a light base layer under a warmer jacket.
- Spare sets are easy to find in hospitals, so they are a cheap way to get Rags.
