In my last stint in the ER because of blood clots, from my bed I watched this agitated patient with his hairy derriere exposed pacing back and forth. The absurdity of the gown finally smacked me in the face for the first time. I never saw how what a slam down of humanity it was. The blase disregard for dignity, of displaying people in these victim costumes like pathetic dregs of our health care system, was exposed. Of course, I might be overreacting. How many years have we endured this, er, mistreatment with no seemingly great complaint? It has to be like at least 6 decades or more. The Gown is meant for freer and greater access to a patient. Yet, if necessary, that should only be for a certain period in bed. But pajamas would work as well. And robes to walk the corridors. I will never wear another hospital gown no matter what.

Then the problem with doctor's appointments. Never been to one I did not have to wait a half hour or so. That is just wrong. How does that sort of delay work in our daily life? It has become just one of those things we unthinkingly accept, like poor highway planning. Their time is important, ours not so much. Lol, woe is me. Yet I think it is worth considering.

Come on, Rumi, all you have to do is ask for another hospital gown to cover your hairy derriere! 😁

Well, count your blessings, rumitoid....he could have turned it around and exposed something different (yet still hairy) than his derrière! 😲🤭

Are you serious? The sight of a man's hairy ass offended you?

My, o my, aren't you a prudish little wuss. Who cut your balls off?

And, what will you think of next to cry about?

rumitoid

Never thought of that. Didn't know you could. (And it is not hairy, thank you.)

I have a rather lengthy list, like pretzels without enough salt or unpopped popcorn from the microwave. Arrgh the humanity.

So, how did the heart surgery go???? Just asking.

Hope you're doing OK, Rumi. You must be pretty good the way you're complaining about hospital accoutrements.

Hang in there.

That's funny and scary because I thought the same.

Sounds like he's "h*****g out".

Lung surgery and it was cancelled because it has spread. There are other options. Thank you ever so much for your kind concern, it really matters to me.

rumitoid

Haha, thank you. I really appreciate the concern.

rumitoid

Very funny.
