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?

I have never been offered a small one! Usually they drown me.

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!

I've never had to don a gown for an x-ray yet!!!

Last time I had one, it was on both my feet, I just took my trainers and socks off, rolled my jeans up above my knees, and off we went.

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.
