Generally Speaking
The FDA does not regulate surgical procedures. It is up to the patient to ask what evidence shows that surgery is better than other options. This medical article concludes that surgery is frequently "a highly questionable practice without supporting evidence of even moderate quality." Patients should be told that when it comes to treatment, physical medicine, including chiropractic, is a good first-line therapy for pain relief. Randomized clinical trials that produce the highest quality of evidence strongly suggest that surgery is next to useless for the conditions discussed in this article.

In the 1800s, it was believed that scientists were more popular and respected than medical doctors. In order that the common physician would gain the same respect and trust and to emphasize the transition to the scientific approach, they also took to wearing the white lab coat. The imaginary dangers associated with wearing scrubs in public have led to concern. This medical article, however, states that there is no evidence that bacteria on scrubs spread disease. Nor is there evidence that bacteria on other objects such as ties, white coats, cell phones, stethoscopes, computer keyboards or numerous other articles shown to be contaminated have made people sick. (Is this a refutation of the "germ theory"?) Nevertheless, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has issued a statement on proper dress for surgeons, whether in the operating room or interacting with families or the public outside.
