But why?
Stupid question maybe, but why are labcoats or medicalcoats white?
I always wondered why.

I don't wear them, so why should I know it? Perhaps it looks more important, sciencey and geeky?

finally...you're also in pito's camp...
..it's for the symbolism- life and purity....before the turn of the century- the medical people and the nuns (working in the hospitals)used to wear black- for death...and esp students/personnel dissecting cadavers wore black....in keeping with the times and modern science, doctors then started wearing white or beige....and for the practical reason- it's easy to know it's clean if it's white... casandra on Tue May 3 20:32:48 2011 said:

. And the surgery stuff is green, not white...I wonder why, too... hobglobin on Tue May 3 20:38:27 2011 said:

..and I guess green is the same- for pus.....esp if it's a septic surgery....... Plus, white goes with everything and that includes...cool surgery caps
