Inpatient fashion: Diane von Furstenberg's new designer hospital gown

Host Linda Wertheimer reports:

High fashion comes to the ICU. Designer Diane von Furstenberg's working with the Cleveland Clinic to redo their hospital gown. It should be functional, attractive and not subject to accidental mooning. The famous designer adapted her iconic wrap dress to wrap front or back and designed a mold print that picks up the clinic's logo. Reviews are positive, except for the print. It may not be a guy thing.
