Hospitals have small medium and large hospital gowns, for patients to wear, for x rays and ops.
For you larger guys and gals, please don't accept a small one , or when the nurse says wear 2, one front one back.
ASk for one that fits, the patient charter states they will treat you in a dignified way, if you don't ask, you don't get. |

What I don't get is that, if you're having a chest xray (which I do regularly) and you turn up wearing a t-shirt (which I do on most occasions), you still have to strip to the waist and put on a hospital gown.
What is it about a gown that's 'better' for xrays than a thin cotton t-shirt? |

Having had a lot of X-rays on my leg, below my knee to foot I never understand why I had to wear a gone for that either! |

It's not the gowns that bother me, it was those rather stocking like socks they give ya lol. I was in too much pain n discomfort pre-op to worry about the size of the gown. |

Quite a lot of t-shirts have woven or plastic type logos that could appear on the x-ray and the radiographer wouldn't want to have to repeat the x-ray due to the patient being exposed to a double dose of radiation. |

Egg yolk and ketchup stains would have the same effect. |
