The hospital gown reaches to the knee, leaving the urine collection bag on view to every passerby. Lying on the bed there was no blanket to a) reduce the embarrassment of having this visible to everyone and b) for warmth. Had to use own clothing to cover lower body. Tried to draw curtain across side of bed to give a little privacy only for staff to pull it back.
