HOSPITAL ISSUEING PAPER GOWNS AND SOCKS TO PATIENTS

A friend was admitted to surgery at a large hospital in California and was shocked at being issued a paper gown and some socks upon being admitted. She had asked for the skid proof vinyl and terrycloth slippers and they gave her the socks.

When she got to the hospital bed it was so flimsy it was like a dolly on wheels. And she said when she got to the operating room, she was transferred to an operating table that looked like a lawn chair. she sat up and she almost flipped over. They had her slide back as far as she could.

I sure would like to see the charges for the gowns and the socks and see if the charges are the same as they before when they had cloth gowns and slippers ! What's next, will they ask you to bring in your own nighties and will they have you go to the OR naked under a sheet ?
