The Hospital Food thread

[Quickstatus]

Starting off with this breakfast

Classified as " soft diet".
You can see opened tub of yoghurt, small bottle of milk and apple jiuce

This is Pureed Baked Beans. You can see the patient took a small sample and this is what's left.

And in a public hospital the meal always seems to come with a stale piece of wholemeal bread Talk about crushing any remaining joy.

I’m currently in Calvary Adelaide and think the meals are not bad. Good variety too

You mean, better than what the RAH offers?

Yep, waiting on your hospital TR actually.

public hospital

At my last Public hospital the staff used to get frozen bread delivered to the tearoom. Invariably they were out of date.

The last time I was in hospital for 11 days I'd lost around 8kgs.

The food my wife was getting at RBWH on 3 visits this year was very ordinary.

Lunch today. I’d eaten the cauliflower soup before I remembered to take a photo. Lamb was tasty but dry

When I was at the Mater a few years ago, the cafe kept calling the room to ask if I wanted food. I said no, they wondered why ???

Some menus and food. One nurse was great and liked to draw on your drug cup

I had the pleasure of getting my Gallbladder removed at St John of God Hospital in Murdoch earlier this year - the room service menu is more extensive than any hotel I've stayed at - and you can essentially order whatever you like. The regular menu is 6 pages, plus another for drinks, then there's different specialty options for Kosher, Halal, Soft/semi-soft/liquid.



After surgery it was 7:30 when I was finally in my room, so I had no idea what I could manage to eat, so I happily ordered a few options before the kitchen was due to close at 8pm:
* Potato and Leek Soup
* Chicken Satay Hokkien Noodle Stir Fry
* Garden Salad with French Dressing
* Fruit Pavlova

Somehow my Salad was "substituted" with a Creme Brulee - I did not complain!

I woke early and ordered a cheeky 6am light breakfast:
* Fruit Salad
* Cheese Plate

Then before checkout at around 10am I got something more substantial, from memory eggs hollandaise with hash brown and sausages.

All the food was delicious, I can't quite believe I was eating so well, and wished I could have stayed longer!

Had 4 nights in last week (National Capital Private in Canberra) First night liquid diet. Next day and night... NIL BY MOUTH!! Arrgghh! Then Liquid diet for a day then finally "Light" for the final morning. Makes it hard to comment, there was so little food involved. Get pretty sick of Apple Juice I must say.

Must have just missed you. Mr LtL had 6 nights in CCU there the week before. Food wasn't bad but still hospital grade!
