Aside from the fact that, for some bizarre reason, Kishimoto draws clothes that don't quite properly fit people (at least in my opinion), I'm in agreement on the clothes bit.
As for the gloves, I personally think the function is twofold. One reason is to keep them from getting banged up. Not that she necessarily needs them to prevent bruising and scraping, but it's an added layer of protection for long, difficult, hard fights. Second, and more prominent, is the psychological. Gloves off: healer mode. Gloves on: fighter mode. This is my personal fanon, at least.
Clean hands I'd buy if I didn't already have to suspend my disbelief quite a stretch with regards to medicine. Not only does all of the doctor need to be clean to perform surgery, and the tools, but the environment needs to be sterile, too. Battlefield medicine is something a hospital doctor would cringe at. People died of infections most often after such procedures. It seems to not be much of a concern, so I make the assumption that either a medic can prevent infection with chakra or ninja are, for some reason, more resilient to infection.
It just seems strange to me for a medical specialist to care about one thing not being sterile, and not everything else.
