Kilted in the hospital?

[McClef]

I have never been kilted as an in patient but have been as an out patient many times.

[Kilted KT]

I think a kilt would be perfect!

here is why....

in most hospitals I've been in, they make you wear those funny gowns where your backside hangs out. Wearing a kilt allows the doc access to everything but the midsection where the kilt is affixed...and unless you do somersaults down the hall, no one anywhere will know what you are wearing.

Also, nurses love a man in a kilt. I wore mine for about half the stay when my son was born. We had a great many nurse visits, and incredible service while there.

oh, and I hope you get better very quickly!

I don't know what the reason was that you were in the hospital, but as a nurse on a surgical unit,we have alot of abdominal surgeries and a kilt covering the midsection is very unpractical. It would just get in the way. There are all sorts of body fluids as well that could possibly stain your kilt and that my friend would be a sin. Oh and by the way, thanks for the compliment about nurses, even if some of us are men. Damn, I just love a man in a kilt.

I have not been an inpatient yet, but if I were, and at my age, I probably shall be ere long!), I'd undoubtedly wear what I wear at night now -- pyjama shorts with the inseam cut out and stitched up as a s****.
A full kilt woud be a bit too much.

I've slept in a couple of my kilts repeatedly, and was quite comfortable, of course they were Utilikilt's spartan model, which also have an extra piece of materiel under the "apron" which I've been assuming is so you can tuck it under the waistband at the back so as to provide a bit of modesty when engaged in physical activity.

Glad that you are recovering. And Kilts will be back in the norm.

As you say being an in patient at a hospital a kilt wouldn't be very practical for wearing 24 hours a day. Getting in and out of bed would be a factor and hospitals are always very hot so shorts sounds like a good option. While wearing a kilt to go visiting at hospitals, I've often encountered kilted men sitting in wheelchairs in the grounds, sometimes being pushed by an able bodied relative or nurse, so it seems that at least in Scotland here, it is relatively common for patients to take a kilt along with them to hospital for wearing for a few hours during the day to get out of the ward. A kilt would be easier for a patient to strap on rather than trying to pull on a pair of long trousers.

I hope that you feel better as well.

[Barclay]

Get better soon, Rob!

[Rigged]

Wear what you like. Here's hoping for a full and rapid recovery.
