Life less funny when in Hospital
Monday, April 2nd, 2007I have been jabbed so many times, and drunk so much awful stuff and had so many chemicals pumped into my veins, it’s hard to think of something funny to say about it all right now. (btw I know also that there are vast numbers of people who have to go through much worse for much longer, I see them everywhere)
One thing that really surprises me is that the food manages to live up to its terrible reputation; I always felt airline food got a bad rap and suspected the same about hospital food, but now I know that fish pie, potato bake, hot pasta, and chicken anything all arrive looking like exactly the same lump of unappealing yellow stodge on a plate. At least the jelly is good.

Your helpful, thoughtful, insightful, and alway gracious input at UKN is sorely missed. Hope you are on the mend.

Hope you’re feeling better now though.

Jelly must be the last great challenge for hospital kitchen staff everywhere. They’ve not yet been able to find a way to make it unpalatable, but dammit, they’re trying!

anneigma– I wish I knew what UKN was… I seem to be blanking out and don’t know what you are referring to

Until I spent a little time there I expected that hospital food would be boring, and therefore not so bad. It was five days, and I could barely choke it down. I can hardly imagine what you’re suffering. They gave me drinks that I simply couldn’t go at all…

Ah yes, I am aware of the site, but only because someone there hotlinks to images on this site (I can see a lot of activity in my server logs). No other connection I’m afraid.
