ditto... do you mean blood?
I would probably let him or her on, if he/she was a legit doctor and not a mental case. He probably is dressed in the scrubs still because he had to save a life at the hospital at the last minute, and barely made his flight. He should definitely be questioned about it though.

Not O.K.
Bio-Hazard waste. It belongs in a red bag and should be disposed.

If I was wearing 4 stripes, he'd need to change or at least cover it up and wear something outside it. Changing is the best option.
I worked as an EMT, ER technician, and military medic for some years and you don't want that stuff coming in contact with the cabin (i.e. seats) and with crew and other pax - an infection control hazard to be sure.

I saw a guy in scrubs yesterday at MCO, perhaps a new fad?

Actually, I used to wear my old scrub shirts occasionally when I did aerial photography on really hot days. They're so thin and light that they keep you very cool, especially in a light plane with no A/C at low altitudes and when you don't care about looking professional!
But I'm talking CLEAN scrubs - except for avgas and 100W oil stains!

A doctor travelling in scrubs is like Doug taking Kristie out to dinner in his uniform!!!
[/ QUOTE ]exactly.. when he asked me, it perked my ears cuz i think doctors already know that they need to get rid of that stuff esp if it can cause harm to other peeps around.
then i gave doug the same type of scenario that looking4lower did - i sure as heck wouldn't want anything to start racing around my plane - even if it's not spreadable via air...

As a nurse I wear my PJ's all the time AT WORK. I have come home with all sorts of nasty stuff on my scrubs, shoes etc. But travel in them, I'm not sure I would, unless I couldn't get off work and had to run to the airport to catch my flight. And if that was the case and I had "material" on my scrubs I'd get a new set from the OR. It's that easy.
If I was the Capt, as in this senerio, "Sir, I can't allow you on the aircraft with possible biohazardous waste, please go buy an overpriced tourist Tshirt in the concourse. Now, not knowing if the airline carries red bags or how airline dispose of bio/haz have the guy place the top in the bag and dispose of properly "

A couple of questions. How did he get passed Security, and the Gate Agent. If I was the Captain, I would explain to the passenger that the presence of blood on his clothes is a hazzard to the other passengers. I would also explain that you can't allow his scrubs to cause a disruption to the passengers and make them feel threatened or unsafe. Therefor I must respectfully ask you to leave the aircarft. If you have a change of clothes and discard the scrubs, you may reboard.

you are absolutely correct, you don't want the other paasengers to be uncomfortable for the whole duration of the flight, the least the passenger can do is get a shirt from the duty free or his/her suitcase and change.
We used to have extra T-shirts at AS counters that belonged to the Ramp agents that never wore them, brand new but nothing glamerous so maybe I would just give one of those to them so s/he can change into it.

It's a terrorist with some nasty biohazard contagion.
Not many people working in the medical field would go in public in nasty scrubs.
Most facilities have clean scrubs to change into in the case that some become soiled.
It is a terrorist and should be dealt with as such.

I was waiting for the right time to share this...
I was on a DH in the back of a cramped Mesa ERJ and got stuck next to this family of about 6 people who were not from the good ole US of A. As I boarded, the further back I got, the more I noticed it. At first I thought it was the lav. As I moved back to my seat in the last row, the smell got worse. I figured the lav needed service, but as I sat down, the smell intensified, as I was now at a lower "altitude" sitting down. I then noticed the strange looking family from anotha country, and they were speaking a language I had never heard before. (Living in South Florida I had heard many languages) As best as I could tell, they were from a Eastern European/former Soviet country. Anyway... The smell was bad, kind of a cross between BO from a drunken, homeless ex-carnival worker, and a bowel movement from the Hippo I saw last summer at the wildlife park in Homosassa Springs, FL. Sure enough after about 45 minutes in flight, one of the men in the family stood up, and well...I saw the source of the smell. The FA I was DH with saw it too, she got up and went into the lav. Prolly smelled better in there. It'll take a while to get that one out of my mind.
<---- me holding my breath!
