After 12 hours in the emergency room, she was transfered to ICU. They hooked up a 12 lead EKG. One of the leads was on her right boob and 3 leads were on her left boob. She spent 2 days in ICU and then transfer to a telemetry unit where she spent 3 days. She had to wear a hospital gown and naked under it the whole time she was in the hospital because of the EKG leads and catherter. It seemed like every couple hours a lead would come off and a telemetry technican would come to the room and pull the top of her gown down and reattach the lead. The telemetry technicans were always male.
When she was in ICU and telemetry, I don't think anyone other than hospital workers saw her naked. She wasn't ashamed or embarrassed.
