Lets people know they are surgeons

They can be required when placing a central or arterial line, doing sterile procedures, etc. Also serves to keep Staph, fungus, and other various microbes out of your hair when dealing with patients carrying an infectious disease.

Marcus Welby always wore a surgical cap when he was in surgery offering technique advice as he held a retractor while watching a brain surgeon removing a tumor from a mother of seven he met while ordering a Big Mac at a golden arch location down the street from his dog groomer.

Anyone in a medical setting whether it be ER, surgery, inpatient or outpatient, that has to scrub in, usually wears a surgical cap.

It’s very common

internists arent wearing scrub caps


but its easier to keep it on than taking it on/off very frequently and walking around rocking mad scientist hair inbetween.
