Baggy Scrubs and Jeans

The experts say to dress the part. If you don't look like a professional, don't expect people to take you serious, they say. One chance to make a good impression... and all that.
When I was an intern, the student clinic dress code required us to wear a shirt and tie with a white clinical jacket over that. Working on patients could get very uncomfortable, but at least we all looked sharp.
Today when I adjust, I adjust in baggy scrubs and jeans. How baggy? 3XL baggy.
I realize my dress may not be ZZ Top sharp, but I sure am comfortable as I move around the table. It's my objective to let my hands make a good impression as I adjust a new patient. My looks: not so much.
