Doctor smoking in the hospital

Regarding the scene where the doctor informed Bette Davis's character's boyfriend of her condition after the accident. You don't see that anymore.
Of course, I'm in my 50's and remember paper medical charts, and when nurses dressed in all white.

Yep, you don't see those type practices anymore.
I remember an early-'40s movie (not a comedy) wherein a dentist and his patient (who just had a tooth pulled and remains in the procedure chair) are both smoking cigarettes while the patient's mouth is still numb from novocaine. The dentist offered the patient the cigarette.

The nurses all wore white dresses, a distinctive white nurse's cap, and white Oxfords back in the day.
Pre-WWI they dressed quite nun-like.

I saw that. Remember glass thermometers soaked in alcohol?
