Thank you for the ’yet’. Though ‘cape’, irrespective of meaning, is going to be so widely used (not as bad as ‘hot’ but a good deal more common than ‘clatterdevengeance’) that I have no real idea of where best to start looking for examples.
I think a "medical chaperone" should define a person who protects and shields doctors, surgeons, nurses, and other medical professionals from mishaps and malpractice lawsuits. Protecting brilliant, but naive innocents from hurting themselves.
Your comment on the salary of les chaperon among the rectums reminds me of Woody Allen in "What's New, Pussycat?" He told someone he had a job backstage at the Crazy Horse Saloon, helping the girls get dressed and undressed. When asked about the pay, he said something like five dollars an hour. The other person said, "That doesn't sound like much," and he said, "It's all I could afford."
"We’re supposed to call them “skeets,” aren’t we. But I just can’t."
Nor can I. And, to the best of my recollection, I've never seen the spelling "chaperon" before today, and I consider myself relatively well-read.
Thank you. I am appalling when it comes to that kind of investigation. Too old for them to join my go-to defaults, I fear.

Reddit might be a good place to start. https://slang.net/meaning/cape
Incidentally, if chaperon did exist in the feminine form in French (it doesn't), it would be chaperonne.
Merci!

Hah!
Didn't David Byrne wear a cape like that? Or was his oversized suit also confused?
Was that cape from Banana Republic, by chance?
It was not.
