Professors at Durham University in England are attempting to prevent young med students from emotionally detaching themselves from their patients—and they believe that using an “Incision Gown” can help. The silk gown features 9 zips that illustrate where surgeons make incisions in the body for various surgical procedures.
The benefits are two-fold—students wear the gown as a reminder that they may be a patient someday, and it also functions as a learning tool. Plus, it has potential to be the latest hot trend in fashion this year.
