An improved hospital garment is disclosed for use by a patient. The garme nt may be a shirt-like portion having a placket to permit the shirt-like por tion to be donned and doffed in the manner of a robe, and defining a neck op ening through which the neck of the patient extends when the shirt-like port ion is operatively disposed on the patient. The garment may include sleeves through which the arms of the patient extend when the shirt-like portion is operatively disposed on the patient. Each sleeve may be defined by a piece o f fabric and may have a hook and loop fastener secured thereto. On each slee ve, the fabric piece, when the shirt-like portion is operatively disposed up on the patient and the patient is upright, overlaps upon and may be secured by the hook and loop fastener to itself upon the shoulder of the patient. Th is fastener may be releasable to permit the shirt-like portion to be parted along each sleeve to the neck opening to provide ready access to the upper t orso of the patient. It may be shaped and dimensioned such that the overlapp ed part of the fabric piece substantially overhangs the shoulder so as to be capable of suspending the shirt-like portion from the shoulder when the ove rlapping and overlapped portions are released from one another by the fasten er. |
