Hospital Food

Speaking from personal experience, the observation area in the ER has a fridge, so if you are admitted to it, you can always get a free bite to eat.

According to a nurses that I spoke to, our local hospital that I was in, which is nowhere near the size of VGH, used to have menus before Covid. Apparently the food comes from Edmonton now! It wasn't inedible, just very bland and unappealing and no choices were given. That being said, the care that I received from everyone was top notch!

I had the same experience Kim had during a hospital stay 4 years ago. The food was honestly really good. 
 

ETA— the food at my local hospital has always been good from what I know. My mom was given a bottle of champagne and offered surf and turf when I was born (1980). 
 

 I volunteered there for a long time and the cafeteria was great then. The options are great to have, and the food is cooked in house. 
 

 The hospital center has a lot of national recognition which my parents have flat out said that’s why they want to stay in their home (they live about 2 miles away). 
 

 This photo, of a husband whose wife was in Morristown Medical Center during Covid went viral, and still gives me chills:

Well, I certainly appreciated the food, but I'd trade universal healthcare for a menu any day.  I know your system isn't perfect, but ours is shameful.  

Be careful what you wish for.
