Muslim women in UK may soon be offered burka-style hospital gowns

I want this option. My friends still tease me about when they visited me in the hospital and I was so drugged up I didn't realize I was flashin them my em, backside.

if they were real friends they would have left you notes like 'get well soon" (written in permanent marker)

So.....

Muslim women cover up because men are unable to control their raging hormones? What does this say about Muslim men? What about the fact that rape is a result of desire for power and domination rather than sexual lust? Doesn't this then imply that the covering is actually for the woman herself so that SHE isn't tempted by men's advances? Covering her body and face reduces the number of those advances, and therefore reduces the amount of "temptation" she must resist.

It would have been money better spent to have a more appropiate universal gown for ALL patients.....

I think the larger sized burka style should really be for all patients. Everyone, not only muslims want their modestly. I do wonder though. As a nurse that works on the surigal stepdown floor, I would find the cover of the face, etc very difficult to assess a patient. Heck, they could be blue and no one would ever know. Plus, what about all the I.V's and what not that some patients need? Could be a henderence as well.

That's what I was thinking.
