Patients pick what they look for when choosing a doctor. “In addition to the aforementioned points, summarized from your e-mails, I feel compelled to add one more consideration: examination gowns. It is appalling to be handed a 12-inch-square piece of folded paper and told ‘get undressed and put this on.’
The doctor who gives me a soft cotton robe that covers all of me is my favorite doctor. Don’t tell me about laundry requirements and regulations. If they can do organ transplants, they can figure out how to supply cloth gowns.”
