Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for April 10, 2024

How likely are you to recommend us to a friend?

Twelve and a half.

I have done the nudist thing, on rare (and long ago) occasions. This last month or so, I’ve been the one in the drafty paper gown. And I just decided it was like being nude on purpose. Unsurprisingly, the nurses and docs had seen it all on several people daily, so they had no trouble… and with my attitude, neither did I.

Though with the drafts, that heated blanket they sometimes offer is even BETTER than it is when you’re better dressed.

I was told to keep the underwear on.

11 !!

Mine’s going to be a 12. I’ve got surgery for two melanomas this morning with skin graft.

I just experienced this at my urologist’s. As we age there is no dignity in medical visits. We’re poked, prodded, probed and violated in so many ways!

Hospital gowns should be banned.

depends on what the problem is… :{

I don’t mind them looking, but that pointing and giggling is totally unnecessary!

The gowns they make you wear are definitely there to make you feel more uncomfortable

Awkward?? Wait until they get to the prostate exam.

Very awkward. Have had this happen many times. -

Just wait until he farts, you’ll see real awkward…

Having spent a week in a teaching hospital, I can assure you that it doesn’t take long to get completely accustomed to a crowd of people oggling.

He’s gonna take a crack at answering it.

“Does that guy have to stand behind me?”

Im a nudist but I find this to be a 9.

Kind of awkward as a kid, on the I-10 behind a cactus, hey Rusty. ;>)

I think he’s a Plumber.

I’m reminded of the anecdote about Nixon in a hospital. The story is that he wore the gown backwards.

Well, I think it is going to depend on whether you asked me to bend over or not.

Well, if you want the naked truth…

The gowns at our hospitals are doubled so they really cover you. Or most people. They tie once inside and once outside.

Ah, the cloak of indignity.
