Have we really have advancements in medicine?

I recently had a physical and I had to suffer the dreaded "Johnny". Now, I ask you, what's up with this. You would think that with all the fashion trends, high-tech materials, and new-age thinking that has gone into everything around us, we'd be looking at something newer and better than the damn "Johnny".

Let's start with the simple question..."Why no Velcro?" They provide thin strips of material which, no matter how much you try, you can't seem to tie. Or, they don't align in a way that makes it obvious what is supposed to tie to what. It's like they were made that way to mess you up. You know, get your mind off of the medical proceedure you're there to have.

Could they at least provide instructions in the waiting rooms? Let's face it, I've seen enough brochures on breast examinations, diabetes, colonoscopy, you-name-it. But...how to properly put on a "Johnny"?
