admin December 20, 2018 Gift Ideas for Healthcare Professionals So it’s mid-December and if you’re anything like me, you’re still scrambling to finish up last minute holiday shopping. If you’re shopping for friends or family in the healthcare profession, I can help! Listed below are six awesome gift ideas for doctors, nurses, med students, or any other scrub/white coat aficionado. Embroidered White Coat. The core of any doctor’s work wardrobe is the white coat. You can revolutionize the look of that doctor in your family by picking up one of these amazing fitted white coats by Medelita. In this pic, I’m wearing the Wilson coat in a size 36. Bonus Points if you go for the embroidery option. https://www.medelita.com/shop-mens/mens-lab-coats.html?rfsn=2091150.c01dd Scrub Jacket. Doctors can’t spend all their time in white coats. In fact, during overnight shifts, I typically skip the white coat in favor of a scrub jacket. These jackets help me stay warm at all hours of the night yet are light enough so as not to restrict movement during even the most active of shifts. The Kinetic Jacket by Medelita is my personal favorite.http://bit.ly/2rPMXW5 Stethoscope. The stethoscope is oftentimes seen as a symbol of the medical profession. You know what I mean? Like in the TV shows or movies, a stethoscope around the neck means, “Hey, that person’s a doctor!” But this symbolism exists for good reason. The stethoscope is an invaluable tool that is used to quickly diagnose problems ranging from cardiac arrhythmias to asthma to even indigestion. A good stethoscope can range anywhere from $100 to $350 but will last for years. I’ve had this one for over 5 years and it’s still ticking. No pun intended 😉 The Underscrub. There are T-shirts and then there are under-scrubs. The under-scrub garment by Medelita fits like an incredibly soft T-shirt and really feels more like a second skin. Equally at home on a 12-hour hospital shift or a night out on Hollywood Boulevard, the under-scrub is the perfect compliment to any health care professional’s wardrobe. https://www.medelita.com/mens-core-one-short-sleeve-underscrub.html?color=Light+Heather+Grey&rfsn=2091150.c01dd Lapel Pin. What do you give for the healthcare professional who already has all of the above? Well, how about some medicine-inspired jewelry? And no, I’m not talking about any massive Mr. T style gold chains. I’m thinking more in lines of a classy lapel pin like the one shown above. This “Rod of Asclepius” pin was actually featured in the hit T.V. show, The Good Doctor. https://thecopperserpent.com/
