hospital gowns

Hospital gowns are the loose, open-backed garments patients wear during medical procedures and hospital stays.
The design allows easy access for examinations and treatments while providing minimal coverage—a source of frequent complaint and comic vulnerability: I shuffled down the hallway clutching my hospital gown closed.
