Important information for patients

You know those hospital gowns we give people in the ER? You know how they are open on one side? Well, they are meant to be open in the back. To clarify, they are not supposed to be open in the front. Enough said.

I used to just assume that everybody knew that.

Now when I hand the patient a gown, I say, “and the opening goes towards the back,” and offending their intelligence be damned.

I don’t go to the hospital much and wear a gown, so I appreciate the reminder.
