what you are talking about is a lab coat not scrubs, scrubs are the blue(sometimes) shirts with the pants that doctors were in the OR and sometimes also around the hopsital and im actually wacthing grey's anatomy now and they are mostly wearing scrubs

i'm not sure what you are talking about...scrubs don't have buttons...if you are talking about white coats, then no, real doctors sometimes don't button them up. i suppose you could say they are more used to hold their "stuff" (pagers, papers, stethoscope, etc.) and more often to to let people know that they are "the doctor" ....on a certain level they can protect your clothes, but i'm not sure how well 3 buttons can cut it.
