"dignity and comfort throughout procedure"

About: Macclesfield District General Hospital

May I enquire as to your Policies on maintaining the dignity of female patients when undergoing cardiac investigations

I was instructed to strip to the waist - no gown was offered to maintain my dignity and I stated I was cold being stripped half naked. which I was because I feel cold easily

Not a procedure I would want repeated with such disregard for my comfort and feelings
