Because white was too bright under the OR lights, so they changed to green.

Doctors have a very busy schedule, they don't have time to eat the right things i guess.\n\nDoctors are like everyone else, just because they know the things bad food can do for you..they'll still eat it.  Everyone knows that..but we still eat it.  "it's easier said than done"

Its all about the all mighty dollar. Doctors are paid by drug companies to endorse there products, regardless weather or not they are better than the less expensive version or not. Just like i firmly belive that  the cure for things like aids and cancer os being deliberatly slowed bu the drug companies becuase they make millions and millions of dollars every day from the medicine that these poor pepople that have this ailment need just to be with out pain So ethics you ask? i say that ethics has gone out of medicine all together

Great question !!\nI'm a health care provider and my only "guess" is that it is so routine to cleanse the skin first that the person administering the drugs is just doing it "like they always do".  You are correct that it is a needless practice in these cases...perhaps the observing family is being respected as someone in the audience may be a health professional.

I've spent a lot of time in Asian countries. The main reason for the masks is due to pollution. Mainly diesel exhaust, since many more vehicles there use it, and also because they don't have the air quality standards that are found in the U.S.

it's for hiding their tongue which sticks out during tricky procedures.....not such a professional look.

I dont know about nerves,but the veins(the green tubes which can be seen just under our skin behind our wrists)are green coz they carry DEOXYGENATED blood.

some people do it to make sure it is the right color, because certian colors mean that you have sinus infection...and other colors mean that you are sick and another color means you are healthy

The medical profession includes very different jobs. Compare an emergency surgeon (very high stress) with a microbiologist working in a lab (relatively low stress). As a general rule I would expect doctors to live more than average because \n\na) they usually earn more than average(it has been proven that money influences survival) \nb) they know more about prevention and healthy living\nc) they have access to higher quality healthcare  \nd) some of them have very boring, non-emergency jobs\n\nAn interesting "fact" that a psychiatrist told me is that psychiatrists have the highest suicide rate of all medical specialties. Can't verify this claim, but it was attributed to the hypothesis that medical students and graduates with unstable mental health are the ones that are most interested in studying psychiatry.

White clothes always project a sense of purity, cleanliness. It's only natural that chefs and doctors would want to wear white for the sake of their customers.

wow-interesting question.  I would say it depends on the shade.  Sometimes it looks like sickness, disease, infection.  Other times green looks like freshness, renewal, life, springtime, and growth--think trees, grass, leaves.  Green eyes look exotic and mysterious.  I guess colors come to represent different things to different people, green for money and wealth, green card for opportunity, green beret for honor and discipline...Have you ever wondered if we all see colors differently and just don't realize it?  My blue might be your green and your orange might be my some other color.  It would certainly explain why the lady down the street wears crazy colors and sees them beautiful.  By the way, I met a man who saw everything in black and white (literally), so if you can see color at all, you are ahead of the game.

Doctors are trained and conditioned to ignore everything that does not align with the AMA agenda. No doctor who wants to practice medicine and continue getting patients is going to jeopardize their meal ticket. \n\nThey often use the argument that there is no studies proving ultrasounds are not safe. However, the absence of such studies does not automatically mean they are safe.

I think the green "scrubs" are supplied by the facility and as a result the idea was no-one would want to steal the hospital clothing.  It's not working BTW.
