    Why do we still have these crappy butt-baring hospital gowns? @statnews finds a crack of hope. (Sorry. Couldn’t resist the pun.)https://www.statnews.com/2018/01/25/hospital-gowns-design/ …

        Hospital gowns are the modern hospital straight jacket- ties up at the back and confines the person to bed or chair - pyjamas are only marginally better - clothes are best - #endPJparalysis http://www.last1000days.com  get up, get dressed get moving

        Improved gowns could reduce the stress of hospitalization, create better patient outcomes and actually be cost effective.

        Nice article, Bob. You fulfilled my "learn something new everyday" quota. Good to know that patient dignity is getting a rightful tune-up.

        I was recovering from my 4th child- C-section - walking in hallway with my hubby @netoKris . Lady ahead - said gown, butt hanging out. Couldn't help but laugh (and we're pretty nice people). Hurt my incision. Time for new gowns.

        The "solution" I've experienced is being given two identical gowns, one open at the back and one to wear with the opening at the front. 😬

        I'll be bummed if this doesn't get resolved. But I suspect it will result in a cover-up. (Sorry, also couldn't resist.)
