Doctors and nurses have been around for a long long time, and I am sure there is no one out there who doesn't actually know what a doctor is. They can come in various different forms, such as a Physician Doctor, a dental doctor (Dentist), Audiologist which is a hearing doctor, and many more. People count on doctors to keep them in good shape and health, they are an essential part of our culture, and I am sure that without them, the world would be a much worse place. So let's skip the history lesson this time, and take a brief look at how doctors have been represented in recent years on famous TV shows:
In recent years we have seen many adaptations of a Doctor in TV programmes and films, if you turn on the TV now you will no doubt find the programme "Scrubs" being played back to back on comedy central, this classic programme has been going for around ten years, and it has a huge cult following in the USA as well as the UK. The first season tells the story of two interns J.D. and Turk who have just started training to become a doctor at the Sacred Heart Hospital. In the first season they get taught by the slightly sarcastic mentor that is Dr. Perry Cox. So if you were to ask the average teenager what a doctor looks like or is like to them, I am sure the series of "Scrubs" may come up in the conversation.
So it's no surprise then that if you're looking for fancy dress for your next party a nurses costume or doctors costume is a very popular choice for adults and teenagers alike.
Another classic programme that has represented Doctors in recent years is House, this American series tells the story of House and his medical team, who don't deal with the usual cases that doctors can figure out quickly, they deal with the cases that no one can solve. House is a much more serious approach to the Doctor world compared to Scrubs, but at the same time, it is still just as good!
For those of you who really know your Doctor programmes then we are sure you will know of the timeless classic that is E.R. this TV series is the king of all doctor programmes it lasted 15 seasons, which means that is the longest running medical drama in the history of America. As well as this the programme has achieved 23 Emmy Awards.
So in short, a doctor is a well respected person throughout the UK and throughout the world. So what better costume to dress as for an upcoming party than a nurses or doctors costume? These costumes can be worn by anyone of any age, as it is such an adaptable costume. So what are you waiting for pick up your fancy dress today!
