Hospital food has rocketed in quality, at least around here. They're almost a hospitality (heh) business now, want you coming back. Of the 4 hospitals around here, I know exactly which I want to go to, in what order.

The place we had our kids at treats you like a 4-star hotel. The cafeteria food is healthy, tasty, varied and cheap. If it was nearby, I'd drop in for lunch, and people do just that.

After one surgery they wouldn't let me eat anything but a light salad. Damn, it was so good I all but licked the bowl.

This sounds great and all, but pleasing patients doesn't always dovetail with proper medical care. 🤷‍♂️

(And FFS, I'm punching the next medical person who tells me they practice "evidence based medicine". "I would fucking hope so and I'm not fucking stupid." God I hate that Americans are now so ignorant that medical staff has to say shit like that. /rant)

along the same lines as evidence based medicine is holistic care: oh, you're not going to ignore important bits like my mouth and eyes, like the insurance company?
