There are certain dress codes for many different professions around the world. For example, in India there is black coat for lawyers, white coat for doctors and khaki colored dress for police. But have you noticed that when doctors go for surgery apart from seeing patients in the OPD, they wear green clothes. Do you know the reason behind this? Today we will tell you the reason behind this.
green dress for surgery
You must have noticed that doctors wear only green clothes during surgery? But have you ever had this question in your mind that why doctors wear only green clothes, why they do not wear yellow, red, blue or other colored clothes during surgery. Today we will tell you the reason behind this.
When did the use of green cloth start?
Let us tell you that wearing green clothes was started by an influential doctor in the year 1914. He changed the traditional color worn in the hospital at that time from white to green. Since then it has come into vogue. Nowadays, most of the doctors perform surgeries in green clothes only. However, some doctors still perform surgeries in white and blue clothes.
What is the science behind green color?
Now the question is what is the benefit of using green clothes and what does the science say behind it. Let us tell you that there is a science behind performing surgery in blue clothes. Because if you enter the house from a lighted place, there is darkness in front of your eyes for a moment. In such a situation, if you come in contact with green or blue color inside the house, this does not happen. Same thing happens with doctors in operation theatre. There they see things better in green and blue clothes. However, many doctors do not agree with this.
There is peace in these colors
There is another reason behind using green and blue colors. Let us tell you that blue and green colors give relief to the eyes. Apart from this it reduces stress. Because when the doctor is operating on a patient, he and his colleagues remain under extreme stress. In such a situation, when people in blue and green clothes are present around them, their mood remains stable.
