(6,475 posts)I spent time in hospital getting a stent - had side effects from the meds (probably the Lipitor) so spent two weeks there. The food was "healthy" I guess but I'm willing to bet there was not a single molecule of sodium chloride in the entire ward and finding fat in the food would also be a challenge. As a result, the food was flat, bland and favourless. About the only things that tasted any good at all were ketchup in the packets and custard in the prepackaged cups. White bread and butter were also verboten and absent.
So, on my last night there, I asked if it would be OK to order something in from Uber Eats and to my surprise the nurse said OK. I ordered a Big Mac and 20 minutes later it was delivered right to my bed side! Nobody said anything about it but I cannot help but think what the nurses might have been thinking.
