Everyone knows that “white coat” is synonymous with doctors. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, doctors are dressed in white uniforms. However, in many movies and TV series, as long as the operation is performed, the doctor wears a green or blue uniform. Is it just because white clothes get dirty easily? Or is there any other special purpose?
Doctors wear white coats, mainly because doctors see more people every day, and their clothes will be contaminated with various bacteria and sundries from other patients. Therefore, the doctor’s white coat should be cleaned every day, and the white coat is the most resistant to cleaning.
And in order to better disinfect and sterilize, some disinfectants or bleaches will be added during cleaning. If it is other colors of clothes, it will be spent in minutes, and white does not need to be afraid of these. And white also gives a sense of purity, whiteness and cleanliness. After the patient comes, they feel that the clinic is clean and tidy, and this cleanliness will also make the patient feel at ease to see the clinic here.
Choosing white work clothes is also because white looks softer and does not easily stimulate the patient’s nerves, because everyone wears white clothes, and it is estimated that there are not many people who hate white.
And there’s a reason why the doctors in the operating room changed their clothes to green. First, blood splatters will be encountered during surgery, and white clothes are not easy to clean after encountering blood stains. Second, the blood stains on the white clothes are too obvious and eye-catching.
Patients undergoing surgery are usually nervous, especially those with some symptoms of haemorrhage. In some operations, during the operation, due to the needs of the operation, the patient cannot be kept in a sleep state during the operation. In this way, the patient will see the blood stains on the medical staff, which will increase the patient’s emotional tension and anxiety. Some patients cannot control their emotions well, which can also lead to an increase in blood pressure, which affects the operation.
And if you change to green clothes, when the blood stains splash, the color will not be obvious or even blurred. Moreover, green symbolizes life and gives patients a hint of hope. Choosing green means the green channel, and those with serious illnesses will choose pink-colored clothes.
And these special colors of clothes are not like ordinary white coats, but they are split, and they are all chosen for the convenience of work.
