Muslim women booking into hospital for operations can now respect their religion by wearing this unique burka-style gown.
The 'Inter-Faith Gown' is the brainchild of Karen Jacob, the linen services manager at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
It is the first such gown to be introduced in the country and patients at Preston and Chorley hospitals will now have the opportunity to wear it if they wish.
Ms Jacob said: "I noticed a gap in the market and thought that it would be great if there was a gown that helped to preserve a patient's modesty."
The gown provides extra comfort and cover for patients undergoing medical procedures, and whose culture or religion requires them to be more modestly clothed.
Trials of the gown have already been carried out at Royal Preston Hospital and the response has been overwhelming.
It will be available from November 1 and will be manufactured by [... excerpting references to the company ...]

LOL! Don't let em around Cardiac patients..
Un-fricking believeable, isn't it? Actually; no it's not. It's to be expected that the 7th century garbage would be 'catered to', in an effort to appease their primitive beliefs and ways. The 'gowns' should be bright orange, so people can see where the potentially-murderous, muslim-islamist-aran terrorists are, at all times, IMO. No green or blue, as they blend-in too easily with staff scrubs etc. Hospital go boom!
PING to hospital fashion for potential terrorists!
Convenient, they can double as shrouds.
LOL! They relly do look good together. :o)
I don't know many physicians who are going to be able to thoroughly examine a patient in a get up like this. Ridiculous....you can't make a diagnosis by looking through peep holes for eyes.lol Ship the shrouds to Iran along with the people who insist on wearing them.
lol
Looks like a cowbell... Less, not more cowbell!
LOL!!!
The other week I had to get nekkid for a doctor for the first time in years. (usually you just uncover the necessary areas) It was kind of embarassing; I could have used an outfit like this.
Mrs. Cobra Commander?
That was a good movie wasn't it? I still like to see it.
