"Concerned about my dignity on cardiac ward"

About: Heartlands Hospital / Cardiology Heartlands Hospital Cardiology B9 5SS

Two trainee nurses were asked by the nurse who was looking after Cardiac Ward where patients undergone either for angiography or stenting to fill in some forms, and the nurses started looking at my skin and asked me to lower down my pyjamas to the extent that I was totally naked and heard giggling sound made by the nurses. This was totally against someones dignity and if it was that important this should be done by male staff.
