They Got You Covered

Hospital gowns which bare patients' backsides could be a thing of the past, after new designs for "modesty" gowns were revealed by National Health Service hospitals in Bristol, England, where they are said to be a hit with patient populations.

A spokesperson for the NHS said the old bum-baring robes could be embarrassing and undignified... As well as a bit chilly.

U.S. supporters of single-payer health insurance cited the new gowns as an example of superior coverage... Opponents charged "cover-up!"

    Please visit our website, www.healingthreads.com. We have provided dignified, modest, and empowering Recovery Wear to hundreds of people for the past 4 years. We sell them on the Internet at our website and at various cancer boutiques throughout the USA. Our company, Spirited Sisters Inc. developed as a result of 2 of 3 of we sisters being diagnosed with (and subsequently treated for) cancer w.in 6 weeks of each other. We started the company to enhance the environment in which a person is asked to heal and recover. To that end we decided to design and manufacture garments that would consider all aspects of healing and recovery: mind-body-spirit. Though inspired by cancer, people wear them through many different medical experiences. Please visit our website for more information. Thank you
