Character Bundle makes me sad :(
Good info, Bruce. However, I posit that not all hospitals here in the U.S. go by that color-coding system. I was a paramedic for four years here (in Texas, anyway), and hospital nursing staff usually wore whatever scrub tops they wanted to, which includes cartoony characters and the like. This was especially true with children's hospitals. The only real consistency in scrub wearing seemed to be the doctors (usually had a light blue or light green set) and the technicians (X-ray and the like, wearing black). This is just a narrow slice of the medical world, obviously, and I doubt it applies everywhere, but it seemed fairly consistent across multiple hospitals in the large metropolis I live in.
Not sure about the rest of the world, but I just joined a company that has a worldwide reach and I've already run into similar situations here. We had a narrator on one project who had a really thick Spanish accent, so our Middle East counterparts said that wouldn't work and would prefer someone with more of a UK accent instead. I can see how that would easily relate to use of the photo/illustrated characters, such as looking "too American." 
Indeed, it's very easy to set up a photo shoot to create your own characters, especially if your company likes to have employees wear a company uniform or company colors. Shouldn't be too hard to find a ham or two to dress up, get them to pose appropriately, and click away with any camera.
