"The shirt changes the comfort and ease of access to the port. If the patient is more comfortable, then they are more cooperative. The comfort of the patient is priceless." Amanda Woelk, CCLS |
"A really good thing is with these shirts is they unsnap where you need them and they snap right back up so it doesn’t require you to be exposed then you get to keep your dignity." Adrianne |
"One of hardest things to deal with in a chronically ill child is how to make them comfortable away from home when they have to be in the hospital. This design of using a T-shirt that can be undone without taking it off, will make nursing and physician care much simpler and will be a design that makes the child feel like a normal child and not one that has to wear a gown or pajamas and therefore sick." Pam Shaw, M.D. |
"I think this is an amazing idea that would make so many patients’ days a little bit brighter and easier." Chloe |
"In my work with teens and adults who have to be in the hospital for extended periods of time, I have anecdotally noticed that those who wear their own clothes, sports caps or other individual modes of dress seem to have more empowered feelings about their patient status. Your patient clothing would allow patients who are less inclined to be independent and choose ways to express their individuality to do the same. I believe it might make a difference in their sense of self-esteem and control." Noreen C. Thompson MSN, PMHCNS-BC |
"I wish I had one of these shirts now." Alicia, during a recent hospitalization. |
