Cute or controversial? Pic of boy and girl dressed as doctor and nurse causes social media firestorm for being 'sexist'

The little girl's scrubs are pink in color and reads 'Nurse in Training' on the back while the little boy's scrubs are green and reads 'Doctor in Training'

An image that was uploaded on social media of two children walking hand in hand at a hospital has been leaving users divided over whether the picture is cute or just plain sexist. The picture shows a little boy and a little girl walking down a hospital hallway together wearing scrubs that look very similar, except for one striking difference. The little girl's scrubs are pink in color and reads "Nurse in Training" on the back while the little boy's scrubs are green and reads "Doctor in Training".

The picture was shared on microblogging site Twitter by user @TheMedicalShots on March 10 and the image went viral almost instantly. The image features the unidentified little boy and girl holding hands and, with their backs to the camera, walking away down what looks like a hospital hallway, reported Daily Mail.
