Doctors at a certain Western Sydney hospital are scratching their heads over the sudden disappearance of several hundred scrubs. Due to the shortage, surgeons have reportedly needed to perform major procedures wearing cooking aprons and lab coats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jugular reporters interviewed a senior staff member at the hospital. \u201cThis is an act of terrorism on hospital grounds,\u201d they said, visibly upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the staff member, a similar phenomenon had occurred last year, with some scrubs returning a couple of days later. However, these are reported to have smelled of cask wine mixed with teenage hormones, and were covered in phallic imagery and \u201cT-Series vs PewDiePie\u201d references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, security has been tightened at the hospital, and doctors were found cowering inside storerooms, clutching onto their precious gowns. In this state of emergency, The Jugular decided to get the perspective of UNSW students in their hospital rotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, it\u2019s, uh\u2026 really weird,\u201d said Max Baloney, a third-year student who was found sneaking into the wards at 1:00pm, wearing dark sunglasses and slightly rumpled clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the scrubs he was wearing to the recent pub crawl, Max was slow to answer. \u201cThe bar was giving them out for people to wear, so we don\u2019t catch corona,\u201d he pointed out eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it seems catching coronavirus was the least of his concerns when deciding to scab his friends\u2019 drinks before collapsing on a toilet seat at Side Bar.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNah, it\u2019s alright, I managed to sneak out a couple toilet rolls when the bouncer booted me,\u201d he proudly claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd anyway, I really think that, with this new shortage, MedFac should be giving out free scrubs to us medical students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both MedFac and the local Clinical Skills centre have indicated the unlikeliness of this happening, as resources of all types have been disappearing from their supply cabinets recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re even missing specimen jars and catheter bags, who on earth would steal those?\u201d the receptionist wondered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On hearing this, Max is reported to have spluttered and said, \u201cIs that what they were for?! I wondered why they had lids on them!\u201d Despite our reporters\u2019 continued questions, Max then stormed off, muttering something about a goon bag and \u2018those clear plastic shot-glasses.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jugular will continue to investigate.
