The patient's garment has a body portion (10) and sleeves (14). The body portion includes a main panel (16) which can be positioned to either the front or rear side of the patient and a pair of adjacent side panels (18, 20) which would normally be positioned on the other side of the patient. The outer side edges (28, 30) of the side panels are joined together in overlapping relationship when the garment is worn by the patient by a plurality of vertically spaced apart fasteners (42, 44). The sleeves 14 are sewn to the body portion, and the top of each sleeve is provided with an openable seam having adjacent mating edges (34, 36) which extend from the neck of the patient over the patient's shoulder and down along the arms.
