  Why Doctors Wear Green Clothes While Performing Surgery M ost of us have gone to the hospital at least once in our lifetime, for one reason or another. You must have seen that just before surgery, doctors get ready in green-coloured clothes. And we have all wondered at least once: why only green, and not any other colour? There is science behind it. Let’s know what is. You must have noticed that when you enter a dark room from a place full of light, and if you come into contact with green or blue, you feel better. The doctors in the operating room go through the same thing. On the online platform Quora, a social media user responded to several such inquiries. The man has studied Electronics and Communication Engineering. He said that green and blue colours are opposite to red on the spectrum of light; and during operation, the attention of the surgeon is mostly focused on red colours only.

  FILE PHOTO: Bitcoin's $32,000 drop looms if ETF approval hits. REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/File Photo Bitcoin  (BTC) could face a downward correction to around $32,000 in the next month, if a spot  ETF  gets approved. This scenario is called a “sell the news” event, which is common in capital markets, according to CryptoQuant. “Sell the news” refers to how the prices, leverage and sentiment of an asset increase before a positive event, but then drop soon after. This happens because smart traders take advantage of the crowded long trade, and force those who use leverage to exit or get liquidated as the price moves against them, CoinDesk reported.
