My wife is in a medical profession. Fifteen years ago she was delighted when I would iron her white lab coat, white pants and white smock. Today she wears a costume such as you describe.

I suspect the white was originally because medical stuff was often bleached. Chlorine is tough on dye sites. People also identified white clad nurses as angelic.

Now a days, crotchety might be more appropriate than angelic. <g>
