Hospital Bag

This might sound like a strange question, but are there plugs to charge things (phone and Kindle specifically) in hospitals? I imagine all the plugs being taken up by Important Equipment. Thanks.

What a brilliant idea - especially the coins. I'm going into hospital soon, so will be pinching a few of your suggestions and adding one of my own - slippers, for use on the cold hospital floors!

Need a number of clean nightwear, as living in them 24/7 means you will need to change daily.

mine lives in the hall cupboard, also has a bag of coins in it(£1 coins, 50ps 20ps and 10ps. A list for the nursing staff with next of kins details a list of friends details.I also have a book and a puzzle book

Aren't you all a practical lot. This would never have occurred to me.

I have done that already. I fell down 3 stairs in 2009, broke my ankle and the ambulance man had to find my drugs etc and he packed wash gear but a friend brought in night attire, knickers etc a couple of days later after I had had surgery. I live on my own so I thought that it was sensible.

I was amazed to see your post ggmarion because I have been thinking exactly the same thing lately, although not for myself, but for my DH. Hopefully it will never be needed, but he does have a long term condition, and as he never wears anything to bed at home that may not go down too well in the Hospital .

I thought to pack PJ's,underwear, some light slippers, soap, flannel, hand towel,light dressing gown toothpaste and brush, a couple of books, a little bag of small change. That would be a good start I think. Phone, medication and anything else could be thrown in at the last minute.
I have not mentioned this to him as I know if I suggest it, or come home with a pair of PJ's he will say I am being morbid. I will just tell him to think how he would feel if he was packed off and all he had to wear was a Hospital Gown!
