Common wisdom that is not true and not related to hair dryers.
I have been told several times to wear decent looking underwear "just in case I had to see a doctor on am emergency basis."
Well I had a procedure scheduled so I wore my newest underwear that was right out of the package. I got to the hospital and the first thing I had to do was remove all of my clothes and put on the standard open back gown that is difficult to tie in the back.
Moral of my post, no one at the hospital or clinic gets to look at what you were wearing. What you were wearing went into a clothing bag they handed you right before you get dressed to go home.
The doctor also initialed my hand before the procedure. Evidently everyone looks the same or similar when covered up with a procedure gown and sheets. The procedure sheet only has a small opening where the doctor is going to do their work. I think initializing every client before a procedure is a good idea. After all not that much of the individual is visible with all of the surgical sheets and gowns covering up the person look similar. Yes I had the bar code wrist band with my name but I am guessing some doctors prefer initials to bar or "Q" code wrist bands. I do know that procedures and names are tipple checked so the doctor was using what worked for her.

Maybe after a doctor does 6 similar procedures in a day, it becomes difficult to keep track of individuals. I was told the doctor that did my procedure was the best in the area. That is the important part for me.
What your underwear looks like doesn't seem to be important. Maybe your reimbursement insurance policy does count. I was treated super well. After the procedure I felt fine..........until the pain drugs wore off some 22 hrs later.
