She has nudes if you care to look

Had to go pantless at the hospital because they didn’t have my size

>This happened a while ago but I haven’t really vented about it. I have mental illness and went to the hospital a few months ago for psychiatric reasons. The way that usually works is that you have to sit in the ER til they have a bed in crisis (where they do the psych evaluation) and then you either go home or get admitted into psych. While in the ER and crisis you are not allowed to wear your own clothes (don’t ask me why that’s a whole other discussion lol) and they give you scrubs until you get admitted and can get your own clothes back. They didn’t have pants in my size. The pants I wore to the hospital were stringless sweatpants but they wouldn’t let me wear them. I also did not have underwear on that day (I don’t usually under sweats). I sat in the ER for hours with absolutely nothing on my bottom half. I was not in my own room I was in an area with a lot of other people. I was given dirty looks by both staff and other patients. I had a blanket on my legs but when they were ready to move me to crisis I had to stand up in front of everyone and sit down on a wheelchair with nothing on and they didn’t let me keep the blanket. To top it all off the person who transported me was someone I used to work with. It’s a big hospital and the walk to crisis was pretty long. I then sat on the bed in crisis talking to the intake person while completely uncovered. Finally the woman who came in with blankets (not sure what her title was) asked me why I wasn’t wearing pants and I told her. She was immediately sympathetic and angry at the situation and managed to get my pants back. I had asked over and over for someone to just give me my pants and was denied for hours. I am very comfortable with nudity and not easily embarrassed but this was humiliating. The psych process is already dehumanizing and this just made it more traumatic. I get that they run out of scrubs. It happens. But the sweats I came in with did not violate psych rules (you can’t have pants with strings). Also I know for a fact that that hospital has underwear for patients and they couldn’t even be bothered to look.
