I believe that AWAD posted a word (2-4 years ago) that definition is the curtain that goes around a hospital bed to ensure patient privacy. Does any one out there know this word? I cannot seem to find it any where. Any help would be appreciated. THANX

welcome, Puck.

I have the words back to October of 2005, and it wasn't then, so it must be previous.

I just tried a search on the AWAD main page, but nothing jumped out from a quick perusal of the eight pages.

someone will know!

I asked a friend who's a nurse. Her response is as follows:

Her: The curtain. As in "Pull the curtain".
Me: Nothing fancier?
Her: No.

She's a woman of few words.

She added, in her defense, the following link: Hospital Curtain

Quite a few manufacturers refer to them on their websites as privacy curtains.

Puck: This might not help but if you're interested it will save you a couple of keystrokes
