Why do doctors give patients exam gowns?

Doctors give patients these gowns for many reasons.

  • When getting weighed the doctors don't want the extra weight of your clothes
  • It's easier to prod at your body with the gown. instead of keeping that extremely heavy and comfy sweater on you will have to put on that thin blue gown
  • If you are given a exam that calls for a doctor to exam parts of your body that are under your gown it also helps guard the rest of your body
  • The nurses don't want to see your body running through the halls. Weaker patients with IVs probably can't put on regular clothes so instead of wrestling with jeans you get a nice thin gown so you can move from place to place.
  • Also, they are disposable. The gowns are thin so they are easier to throw away. The medical staff doesn't want to cross contaminate your flu with someone who has a very weak immune system

What do the letters D.O. mean after a doctor's name?

They stand for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

Osteopathic physicians receive their training in osteopathic medical schools rather than schools of medicine. Most or all states recognize physicians who are awarded the D.O. professional degree as the functional and legal equivalent of M.D.s, so osteopathic physicians may practice medicine as well as become specialists exactly like M.D.s do.

On the latter, yes and no, the Doctor would be curious as to why your medicine keeps disappearing and depending on the type of prescription (mainly narcotics) can only prescribe so many per a certain time.

What kind of doctor treats body temperature disorders?

An endocrinologist will evaluate hormonal status which would include the Thyroid hormones which can affect the bodies' diurnal temperature profile adversely, if out of balance. With a low daily AVERAGE of 96 deg F or lower then Hypothyroidism can be suspected. However, it is always bad news to treat this complaint oneself and a Dr should always be consulted before taking supplements as the Thyroid in particular has a very complex behaviour and can be further damaged.

In my laymans view, many Drs. don't understand the subtle effects of thyroid imbalance on the body, as only the numbers given by T4 and T3 levels in the blood are taken as markers and these can give a false picture according to some investigators [medical] and many sufferers.

The body starts with a low temperature on rising and lifts during the day and can vary quite a lot, day to day.
