Vending machine with scrubs meant for pharma reps. Who knew!
What are your thoughts on this, as I came across this post, complaining about them.
I’d imagine this is done for hygienic purposes - ie, keeping germs from your clothing off of patient floors and decreasing exposure to patients in general.
Doctors do usually get these for free.
So question is: is this being done because the hospital is clever entrepreneurially (charging what I assume is the pharmaceutical company and not the rep themselves) or because it is a necessity?

Life is what you make of it...
That was a lesson that I taught my students, but neglected to follow myself.
I had a really tough (but very enlightening and enriching) conversation recently about this very thing.
It was pointed out to me that no matter what profession I have been in (and I've been in quite a few), I've been miserable for one reason or another.
The variables have changed throughout the various years as to what made me miserable, but I've been miserable.
Not only that, but I have switched career fields multiple times for various reasons, all the while searching for fulfillment.
What was pointed out to me was that no matter where I go, no matter how much money I make (which will never be enough), I will continue being miserable as long as I refuse to accept the obvious: I'm the problem.
Sure, there were horrible events that happened, which led to terrible consequences, but my worrying and stressing over those events didn't change the outcome one iota,
all I really did was stress and worry, which took a heavy toll on my mental health.
I have not been able to find peace within myself and thus have used my work as a means of reaching that peace, (Good luckkkk with that!) which obviously has failed every time.
In fact, the more that I've chased peace through my work, working longer hours, working harder, the faster it floated away. It was essentially trying to catch a rainbow.
So my NEW mission is to find peace within myself no matter how long it takes.
My hope is once I find some form of inner peace (I know it's a journey, not a destination), I'll be able to accept the hard truths (maybe that's naive of me) and make appropriate changes.
So a few questions for y'all:
- Has anyone else gone through this same or a similar struggle?
- If so, what helped you finally reach inner peace or at least get on the "right" track?
- Do you have any advice of how to proceed?
Any thoughts are appreciated :).
Have a great day and Happy Friday!
