My wife has worked in hospitals for all the time we have been together. When visiting, I learned to avert my eyes when I seen a patient in the hall in a gown. She also taught me Rule #1. Never look in a patient room. There’s NOTHING in there you want to see. One glimpse of a nude 95+ oldie will teach you that.
The last time I was in a hospital overnight was for observation after a relatively minor surgery. They urged me to take a walk in the hallway, and actually suggested using two gowns if it bothered me, one with the opening in front and the other with it in the back. Worked fine.
I have never been in a hospital in the US. I have been hospitals in Germany. In Germany I have never seen these types of gowns. Maybe it is a typical American thing. Anybody else have any ideas or information about that?
I don’t remember that. There was the White Coat Ceremony at the very beginning but not much more. Although interns wore a longer coat and the common form is the more experience and training you have the longer the coat. By the time you get to be an attending it should be somewhere between the knee and ankle. It was a method for determining expertise and such.
We RNs didn’t need that as we often practiced on each other. Physicals, bed baths, and IVs (ow) were bad enough. The breast exams removed a lot of bashfulness, especially when my partner announced she found a lump. The professor told her how to assess for fibrocystic breasts (which I had).

Having just come out of the hospital, I can identify with this. Fortunately I have “cute buns.”

They should be wearing those hospital socks with the grippy rubber bits printed on.
