Pink exam gloves on a male doctor

Curious what people think of this odd combo, or is it ? I think it would be fun, might actually ease the tension a little too.

I prefer the white or green ones myself.

It wouldn't make a difference to me, i've had white and purple in past

😉. Hmmm an interesting question my favorites r the black ones.

I absolutely love pink, and to think my Dr had the guts to wear them would be absolutely wonderful. i believe it would ease the tension of the situation a bit and add a bit of humor to the experience. i like the idea.

soumise

Pink is a horrible colour i hate it and everything about it. but if thats what the doctor chooses to wear then i cant really say much except that hey i hate them gloves.

but it would be different

I've had a doc wear blue ones when examining me.

I thought public services in the UK had a big budget deficit!?

Surely these multi-coloured gloves must cost more than white ones!!!

Iceman,

The colored gloves do cost more than your standard "white ones", but I think it has to do with the fact that the "non-white" gloves are typically nitrile gloves rather than latex. Most doctors and hospitals in the U.S. seem to have moved from latex to nitrile due to allergy concerns. More and more people are having allergic reactions to the proteins in latex.

I think black is very kinky, just something sinister about black.

Dont think you can even get pink gloves. I have only ever seen white or blue. Pink would be kinda cute though.....I'd be totally all over that!

They do exist in both latex and nitrile.

I'm reckon they're pretty sexy on a girl. Not so sure about on a guy though...

These gloves might go well with pink scrubs I wore where I did my Trauma rotation. Everyone in the TRU dressed in pink scrubs, boots and caps... the gloves were white, green, or purple though.

By the way palmflex.com has all the pink gloves you can handle!!

Happy to know I'm not the only one who gives it thought : )

I have seen (I work in healthcare) several offices with pink nitrile gloves, usually an ob-gyn or ped doctor. If you have ever had to wear gloves constantly, the nitrile gloves are much more comfortable. They kinda mold to your hand, they don't as sweaty as latex, and they don't tear as easily.

Never seen pink gloves i must say

Never seen pink gloves? Well, have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZYSdTRtBF0

This was the 2011 winning entry in the Pink Glove competition sponsored by Medline. The Pink Glove campaign works to increase cancer awareness. Although I didn't participate, I have frequently been a patient at this hospital and have received nothing but the best there. All of my health care providers are affiliated with this institution. I couldn't be more proud.

I couldn't care less the color, honestly. I'm partially color blind anyways. It's not too big of a deal.

However, I do remember my pediatric dentist had flavored gloves. I was able to choose from around four flavors. I thought that was really neat, even as a child.

I was on vacation in San Francisco five years ago and needed to see a doctor. I went to a walk-in clinic and the male doctor there wore pink gloves.
