COMING SOON TO HOSPITAL NEAR YOU

FROM THEOPINIONATOR: I had heard about this a bit ago and  I thought that someone must be having a laugh.

But, I really should have known better than to underestimate the amount of ridiculous pandering that Great Britain's politicians and administrators will go to to stuff more moslem nonsense up the collective arses of the NON-MUSLIM British people. (There has been enough written to validate that the burqa is a cultural choice not an Islamic mandate.)

Looking at this new condescension to Islamic nutters one would think that it would have been far less expensive and just as sufficient to use a bin bag for the "dress" and a paper sack cut with two eye holes.
Don't you agree?



Modesty gowns for female patients
Burqua-style hospital gown
The gowns have been designed to comply with religious rules
A gown designed for female Muslim patients who wish to preserve their modesty for religious reasons is being introduced to hospitals in Lancashire.

The £12 outfits - made in Yorkshire - cover the entire head, neck and body, leaving just a slot for the eyes.

The burqua-style gowns come with trousers, two styles of head-dress and elasticated cuffs to prevent women's arms from being revealed.

They will be available to patients at in Chorley and Preston from November.

The gowns were trialled at Royal Preston Hospital and proved so successful that a number of other NHS Trusts have also expressed an interest in offering them.

Preserving modesty

Karen Jacob, linen services manager at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, came up with the idea.

She said: "I noticed a gap in the market and thought that it would be great if there was a gown that helped to preserve a patient's modesty."

The gowns are believed to be a world first - and TrusTECH, the NHS organisation which manages innovation for the North West NHS - has the patent.

It means the market for the gowns among the globe's billion-plus Muslims is immense.

Tim Meadows, customer service manager for Interweave, the West Yorkshire-based firm which makes the garments, believes the demand for the gowns could be huge.

"We think there is a large market out there," he says.

"We hope it will be a success. We have invested a lot of time and money."

    Behold to the unseen being.The latest fashion from the house of Saud. Applies only to women, needless to mention! So much for the UK equality laws, sorry, nearly forgot they do not apply to all women, in particular Muslim women that would be so culturally insensitive!

    Allah Akhbar!!!!!,
    Now I can rampage through the hospital unrecognised and unchallenged (who wants to be labelled a racist)!

    I can't wait to get into the children's ward for some good old fashioned Mufa' Khathat (as sanctified by the Prophet).

    Then maybe I'll go round and review the medication of the Joooooooish patients.

    Well, considering that I've had the glorious opportunity to be "overexposed" in the current hospital gown ("just put this gown on & wait for the lab tech to call you": a half an hour in a 2'x 2' bit of nothing in the lab reception area) I wouldn't mind the trousers plus an enough-fabric-to-go-around-you gown. I'd opt out of the head-covering, though.
