簡而言之，一開始大家還是黑袍法師，後面基於「antisepsis」和「purity」的考慮換成白袍。
Physicians dressed themselves in black and were painted in black garb until the late 19th century. Black attire was, and is, considered formal (e.g.
, today's tuxedo). Consequently until about 1900, physicians wore black for their patient interactions since medical encounters were thought of as serious and formal matters. Clergymen also dressed in black, which indicated the solemn nature of their role in encounters with parishioners.
An additional or alternative possibility for the dark garb might be that until the late 19th century seeking medical advice was usually a last resort and frequently a precursor to death. Until the last third of the 1800s, an encounter with a physician rarely benefited the patient. In fact, up to that point, virtually all of "medicine" entailed many worthless cures and much quackery.
Thomas Eakins created what is arguably one of America's greatest paintings in 1875 entitled "The Gross Clinic". It depicts a scene from Jefferson Medical College's amphitheater in Philadelphia showing Dr. Samuel Gross and his assistants—all dressed in black formal attire—performing a leg operation on a young man.
At about the same time, the idea of antisepsis was taking hold in Europe. It was Joseph Lister's contribution that truly moved medicine from home remedies and quackery to the realm of bioscience. For the first time, reproducible results helped researchers better understand how to prevent bacterial contamination.
Remarkably this progression was documented in Eakins' 1889 operating theater masterpiece entitled "The Agnew Clinic" from the University of Pennsylvania. D. Hayes Agnew, MD, can be seen in a white smock, with assistants also wearing white, suggesting that a new sense of cleanliness pervaded the environment.
The patient is swathed in white sheets and the nurse has a white cap. Similarly, an 1889 photograph from the Massachusetts General Hospital archives shows surgeons in short-sleeved white coats over their street clothes.
Shortly after the Agnew painting, the Flexner report (1910) led to the closure of a large number of borderline medical educational institutions and the restructuring of medical education around laboratory science. Coupled with William Osler's 1892 textbook of medicine and Walter Reed's observation of the spread of malaria by mosquitoes during the construction of the Panama Canal, the value of cleanliness and antisepsis was firmly fixed as the core of medical science.
At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, when medicine became the truly scientific enterprise we now know, the "whiteness" or "pureness" of medicine became reflected in the garb of physicians and, interestingly, nurses . Up until that time nuns in their black habits functioned as nurses, largely in almshouses. At the turn of the 19th century the black habits of the religious nursing orders became white.
In fact to this day nurses in England are called sisters, because of their religious origins. Our society has carried this symbol of whiteness to the marriage altar where brides traditionally wear white as a symbol of their purity.
A depiction of a physician in a white coat is indeed the symbol of medicine, eclipsing the black bag or the stethoscope . But the image of the white coat has also become so intimidating that pediatricians and psychiatrists generally choose not to wear it in order to reduce anxiety on the part of their patients. The term "white coat syndrome" is used to describe unrepresentative high blood pressure recordings due to a patient's anxiety upon seeing a doctor in a white coat.

1.工作時是一種身份的象徵，讓病人更信任你。而穿上白大褂，醫生也更有責任感。
2.可以抵擋汙漬，有防護的作業，功能類似圍裙。
3.下雨忘帶傘了，把白大褂披在頭上可以擋雨。
4.出門的時候突然變天了，可以當外套擋風。

為什麼在實驗室要穿白大褂？而且白大褂還不用拉鍊？
清竹 實驗室使用白大褂作為工作服至少有一百多年的歷史了，所以作為乙個傳統，需要考慮當時的歷史原因。當年的實驗還是比較危險的，也很容易弄一些奇怪的東西到衣服上，於是呢，就需要一種穿在正常的衣服外面的保護衣服的東西。而且這個東西還需要很容易發現髒，容易清洗，甚至要經過高溫消毒之類的比較惡劣的程式。這樣白...
醫生為什麼總是把手放在白大褂的兜裡？
小寶貝逛世界 那是電視劇集的情節吧，現實是醫生根本沒時間把手放兜裡，穿著白大褂的時間就是上班時間，忙的喲，兜裡要麼放著聽診器，要麼放著筆和小本子。 十四月 總是 這個說法可能有點誤會。一般在門診病房活動的時候，胸口口袋和右手兜屬於半汙染區，用來放筆，小記事本和各種小工具。左手口袋屬於潔淨區放自己的手...
為什麼白大褂是白的而手術服是藍色的？
擒愛得 穿白色的手術服，做手術多嚇人呀，一濺一身血，血紅血紅，跟屠夫剛殺完豬似的，自己上個廁所都能把自己嚇半死，再說也不好往下洗，多麻煩。 攸小荀 這個就涉及到白領和藍領了 你看，動手去做事情的，就是工人啊，工人都是藍領。而坐在電腦前的是白領啊，白領不需要動手做事情。所以，當醫生給患者看病時，是白領...
