On the social media site Quora, people often ask questions and want to know the answer. Experts also give answers to these questions, along with this, knowledgeable users also give their views. Today we have brought one such question for you, which is interesting to know. A user on Quora has asked why doctors wear green clothes during surgery? Is there any science behind this? After all, when did it start? Come let us tell you everything about this today. First of all, you must have noticed that during surgery in a hospital, he is usually seen in green clothes, sometimes he is also seen in blue clothes. But you would never have seen these doctors in red and yellow clothes performing surgery. So what is the reason for this? You will be surprised to know, but there will be only 1 or 2 people out of 100 who will know about this.
Actually, wearing green clothes was started by an influential doctor in the year 1914. He changed the traditional color worn in the hospital from white to green. Since then this trend started. Most of the doctors started performing surgeries in green clothes. However, some doctors still perform surgeries in white and blue clothes. But there is a science behind performing surgery in green and blue clothes. You must have noticed that 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. Doctors can see things better in green and blue clothes.
However, Dr. Deepak Nain, onco surgeon working at BLK Superspeciality Hospital, Delhi, does not believe so. While talking to News18 Hindi, Dr. Nain had categorically told that Sushruta, who is considered to be the world’s first surgeon, has written about the use of green color during surgery in Ayurveda. But there is no special reason for this. In many places, surgeons also wear blue and white colored clothes during surgery. But green color is better because blood stains appear brown on it. However, a user on Quora has also answered this and explained the science behind it. This user has written in his answer that during surgery, doctors pay attention to red colors because blood is also red. At the same time, green and blue colors are opposite to red on the spectrum of light. In such a situation, the green and blue colors of the cloth not only enhance a surgeon’s ability to see, but also make them more sensitive to red color.
Let us tell you that till about 110 years ago, all the doctors used to perform surgeries in white or blue clothes. But in 1914, an influential doctor changed the traditional color from white to green. He first performed surgery in the operation theater wearing green clothes, since then it became a trend among other doctors to do surgery in green clothes. However, even today there are many doctors who perform surgeries wearing white and blue clothes. Many other people have also given their respective answers to this question of the user, but most of the people have the same answer. A user has given his answers pointwise. This user has said that wearing green color does not cause strain on the eyes, due to better contrast even fine details can be seen better during surgery. There is also a psychological reason, because blue-green colors are the colors that keep the mind calm. Also, looking at red color for a long time makes the eyes tired. In such a situation, green-blue color gives relaxation, due to which the surgery is done well.
