1. Origin
People who often watch costume dramas will certainly notice a phenomenon. The doctors inside do not have special clothes. Yes, neither ancient China nor ancient Western countries had specialized professional clothing for the profession of doctors. Even in the 19th century, dark clothes such as gray or black were generally used for work. This kind of clothes seems to be convenient for the doctor, after all, dark clothes are hard to see even if they are dirty. Precisely because of this, it is also easier to produce bacteria.
Gradually, it was discovered that many patients had a very high chance of bacterial infection during treatment. There is a British doctor named Joseph Liszt who takes this matter very seriously. He began to demand that the doctor put on clean and white clothes while working. Since then, his move has become a tradition in the medical care industry.
2. The benefits of using white for doctor’s overalls
The pure white color makes any small stains nowhere to hide. The clean white color makes the dirt nowhere to escape, which is convenient for medical staff to find and deal with it in time. Patients can also observe the stains on the work clothes with the naked eye. I believe that no patient hopes. It was a scruffy doctor who treated himself. This is also a kind of supervision to the doctor. White will also make the hospital environment cleaner and tidy, and allow patients to be treated with confidence.
Colors such as white and light green can alleviate the nervousness of patients during hospitalization and surgery, make them feel at ease, effectively soothe their emotions, and facilitate the smooth progress of the treatment process.
As we all know, there are often a large number of medical instruments in the operating room. These professional and sophisticated instruments are extremely susceptible to static electricity. The white clothes can prevent the generation of static electricity, so the instrument is not easily interfered by static electricity.
When cleaning the uniforms of hospital doctors, they must be carefully disinfected. Many disinfectants have a bleaching effect, and the white uniform is convenient and will not fade. If a uniform of another color is used, the uniform will fade easily when disinfectant is used. Moreover, the white color looks softer visually, so that it is not easy to stimulate the nerves of the patients, and it also creates a clean and tidy environment for the patients to feel at ease.
