> Always found hospital gowns dehumanizing and never put them on when given instructions to during yearly physical exams

They seem especially weird for a physical exam where the doctor is going to look at you anyway. My doctor leaves the room while I undress and put that thing on, then returns and looks at my body! I asked her about that once and she said many people don’t like to sit around naked even if thenpoint of showing up is to be looked at. Must be some weird cultural thing.
