Is this a USA thing? Do yall not have shoes or sandals with you in the hospital? Just walking around in socks on hospital floors? 💀

Nooooo, never. Personally, I'm a psych patient, and was told that anything with laces could be considered dangerous, meanwhile they give you hella grippy socks which are relatively easy to hoard. Nooo problem there of course, nobody will ever think to tie them together into a noose. They do let you bring your slippers, though, which is nice.

Psych patient as well. We also had any sort of strings outlawed but long sleeve shirts were considered totally safe lol, same with the tall grippy socks. We were allowed flip flops or slippers where I went, too.

I feel ya. Ended up joking that I graduated to having strings again when I was discharged and made the staff laugh 😭
