Debate over hospital gowns

From recent CBC radio in Canada, a discussion of hospital gowns, and new proposed alternatives. Both doctors, and patients discuss.

Check out this episode from CBC's White Coat Black Art:

I'm personally not keen on the new gowns when used before and after surgery. The older "open backed" gowns provide medical professionals with better access in an emergency and are easier to get off when the patient is immobilized (i.e sedated).
