    Side note, why is she bringing her scrubs outside the hospital? Don’t you return them after your shift in America, to be washed and such?

                I’m a massage therapist 😄

                The preceding conversation taught me that scrub-wearing people who work in hospitals don’t wear their scrubs outside the facility & don’t have to wash them themselves, they leave their scrubs at work and there’s a separate crew responsible for scrubs laundry.

                My life is not like that.

                The worst filth my scrubs ever encounter are my own body sweat & occasional massage lotion mishaps.

                  Hey, massage therapy is good for well-being, too. 🩵 Maybe not as “noble” per se but it’s a good service for those that afford it. 😁✌️

                    Thank you yeah I work my ass off to complete exhaustion every day, and I deserve $1,000 per client, but I only get paid $1,000 every two weeks 😭 and anyone who can afford massages can certainly afford to pay me $1,000 per massage. I must find a way to make this happen.

      Do you mean why did ICE abduct her from work inside the hospital and drag her outside kicking & screaming without giving her a chance to change her clothes?

        No.

        But if that’s what happened, I have the answer to my question.

        I’m also wondering why ICE abducted her period, not really specifically from where. 👍 But like I said, this was a side note.

      These are likely not the drab, standard, facility-provided surgical or operating scrubs that even the I.T. staff has to change in to (or don over top) before crossing the red line into a clean zone, ‘red’ room or room with isolation precautions. These are the other personally-supplied garments staff wear to look professional in a medical setting. These are the same ones that are sometimes replaced with T-shirts and such on casual friday or department-coordinated Hallowe’en costumes on October 31.

        That’s the first thing that came to mind, like, wouldn’t you want to contain that mess? Wash instantly?
