Hospital food

Imagine being suicidal and being forced to eat prison tier food.

When I was about 12 I was in the hospital with a broken leg and they gave me the most god awful breakfast burrito. It was seriously the worst thing I've ever tasted. My dad was yelling at me because I wouldn't eat it so I made him take a bite. After that he went and got me mcdonalds.

Gonna be honest: for hospital food, that doesn't look too bad. I like mushy hospital food.

That looks even better. Cream of mushroom is a guilty pleasure for me, and I have never thought about doing it over spaghetti.

I woke up once in the hospital after a suicide attempt that I had apparently done while blackout drunk. It was a Catholic hospital. Food was so-so. They only treated me for dehydration and let me get sober, made me interview with some social workers, then I was on my way. I would hate to be in a psych ward.

When I was staying at the hospital with my brother who was in ICU I almost killed myself because I thought he was dying and he was my only friend while I was a pathetic NEET but they had delicious rice pilaf and amazing seasoned fries. There was tons of other good shit too. I loved the hospital cafeteria so much and it was cheap as hell. I love that hospital so much

Why does this post make me feel warm and fuzzy? Anyway nice blog fag

used to work nutritional department at Central Washington Hospital. Patient meals were middling (pasta was terrible though) but the cafeteria food was goddamn ambrosia, fortunately I left before the cafeteria was neutered and it all went downhill.

i do this all the time with linguine pasta and drops of ghost pepper hot sauce.

why are you in hospital lad? hope you're well

I was once sent to a psych ward for dumb reasons. Was surrounded by anorexics. The food was shit, so I skipped most meals. The anorexics were furious.

Breakfast of scrambled eggs, pancakes with syrup, mini muffin, apple slices, milk and juice box

Only been in once to have a camera stuck up my bum. Due to being anaesthetized I had to wait around after it. It's around noon and the last I'd eaten was honey on white bread the morning before. Got a chicken and mayo sandwich and it was awesome at the time.

>"Excuse me, nurse. What is for dinner?"
>"Oh hey user! Glad to see you have your appetite back! Today's dinner is brown with a side of pink!

shitted
ok
shitted
shitted
pretty good

When I was in the psych ward the food was better than expected. Not amazing, but way better than what I had before.

There was also this hospital back home that had a really good cafeteria, but it's the only one I've found that's legit.

The food in my psych ward was also a lot better than I expected. It was at least above school lunch tier. They had specials every day that we could choose from, but also offered a ton of other choices every day. You could order however much you wanted. This one guy would get five sandwiches for dinner and never eat them. The food for us was the highlight of the day.

>every response
>psych wards

Was inna hospital for a few days for a broken jaw. Dumb bitches kept bringing me skinless chicken breast. Telling me I got a eat sumthing. Last day I finally see the Dr again, tell him about about this he basically says those dumb bitches, I put you on a liquid diet. So I basically starved for four days in the hospital then only got ensure for a month or so after that.

Chicken salad on green salad, chicken rotini noodle soup, strawberries and cup of hot tea

Salmon with squash shaped coins & polenta triangles, side salad with ranch, bread, apple slices, and cookies

>tfw I've never even been to a hospital since my birth

I had to have some surgery in an unfortunate place :(

it was one in a million!

Had the best coleslaw of my life in a psych ward.

gotta love that liquid diet.

you get your semen pipe snipped?

When I was 7 I was at a hospital cafeteria eating the best square cafeteria pizza I have ever tasted. Then a guy with a open and exposed hole in his head sat down infront of me and ruined my appetite. I haven't been able to eat at a hospital since and I've had 4 stays plus multiple family visits in the last few years.

did you offer the poor guy some of your pizza

No they just needed to remove a pool of runny custard

it's all sysco food isnt it?

I'm kind of glad hospital food is such shit. It makes patients easy to bribe when you bring in good food.

>t. researcher

Cock research. What does that even mean?

My wife is a nurse, works the graveyard shift, 12 hours, Fri-Sat-Sun
Makes so much with night and weekend pay, I stopped working
All nurses (and spouses) get 75% off all food in the cafeteria
My wife hates the hospital food, not me, reminds me of the meals I ate during my 20 years active duty in the Navy.
So I drive her to and from work, I eat all my weekend dinners and breakfasts at the hospital
My breakfast is never more than $1.25 and a full dinner soup, salad, main course, dessert and a drink in never more than $3, can't go wrong
They even offer a boxed lunch at .75¢ is a great value, I pick it up on my way out of the hospital and enjoy a good meal while my wife sleeps
Had Christmas, Thanksgiving and New year's dinner there this year, they had a great spread, fantastic value
They have a separate area for employees to eat in, keeps you away from the sick people and the white trash/rif-raf that generally infest the emergency room, this is the local county hospital, so most of the patients are on some kind of assistance and Medicaid
Cafeteria workers are all black and on Friday night they do a great soul food dinner with some of the best pork ribs I have ever eaten, since I am a regular I am usually given an extra portion
Great food, nice setting, unbeatable value and always a ton of student nurses to flirt with

I make spaghetti with cream of mushroom soup and chicken all the time

I wish you guys would stay more healthy so you will not be in hospital. A good start is to not drink alcohol. A little bit of exercise sometimes is another thing you can do.

I feel you. That place was boring as shit; there were like no interesting activities and most items were completely banned. I couldn't even have a notebook to write stuff in. Meals were the best part of the day, mostly because they were tasty most of the time but also because I could talk with people without worrying if I'd have to break up a fight. Seriously, it sucks to unwittingly instigate a fight between two people just because you were present at the scene.

That reminds me, I forgot, but I got sent to this one crisis center for like 12 hours because of suicidal shit. They served us two meals there but they were absolute garbage. I remember the tomato soup was about the only thing I could stomach, but it had this gross-ass film on it that made it difficult to eat. Everything else was complete garbage, worse than anything I'd ever had in school.

I have Kaiser permanente healthcare as well. Sometimes I take my parents to their appointments and while waiting I'll grab something from their cafeteria. The food isn't bad at all.
Wishing you a fast recovery.

>I spy something sub-human

I recruit hospitalized patients for research studies. If I go in there with nothing but "their interest in contributing to scientific progress," 99% of them tell me to fuck off. If, however, I chat them up and learn that they miss good food, I have something to bring the next day and bribe them with.

>lady in ICU recovering from open heart surgery
>really wants some Diet Coke but all they allow in this shithole is Pepsi because of service monopoly
>bring her a 6 pack of Diet Coke next day and start talking about study

>see new patient without NG tube
>chat him up with his family visitors
>he's hungry but not eating because the food tastes like shit
>him and his family are from Louisiana
>that afternoon I bring him a bowl of gumbo with a bottle of hot sauce
>while he's eating, I mention a new study

It's like taking candy from a baby...uh...but I'm giving the baby candy. And helping them recover. And contributing to science.

I actually go to my local hospital for lunch sometimes because its pretty good, cheap, and across the street from where I work.

Do the patients agree beforehand to let you come in? Because if some random fucko came into my room when my family was visiting and tried to sign me up for some study (do I get paid for it?) I'd tell him to fuck off as well.

I knock before entering, if that's what you mean. It's a university hospital and I work there. It's pretty much a given that some kid with a clipboard is gonna ask you to join a study if you come here. At least I'm feeding them good food.

woodberry my fork into

you getting gender reassignment surgery?

No I like my co/ck/ thanks

kek. so your asshole is ruined.

I was in the hospital on Thanksgiving day and I got clear broth, jello, and jellied cranberries. And a card with a turkey on it. I wish I had a picture but I don't so here's a picture of my gallbladder being evicted instead.

>sugarfree cookies
Diabetic or all that was available? otherwise, stellar meal.

that chicken noodle soup looks like its from a can.

>Went to the hospital to have my appendix removed
>it was killing me basically
>was so bad had to flush my insides with sterilized water
>couldnt eat or drink or use the bathroom
>when i finally could drink, I could only drink sterilized water
>everytime i tried to drink i vomited it all back up moments later
>wasnt allowed to eat till I went home

That shit is the nastiest shit I have ever tasted in my life and I hope to god I never have to taste it ever again

When I was visiting my dad in the hospital, the cafeteria staff cut me off because I kept coming back for cheeseburgers. They were great. Like fast-food "great", but still. they were one of the best things I ever tasted.

>here's a picture of my gallbladder being evicted instead.
Now that's a Christmas card right there.

My dad used to take me to the hospital to eat when I was little all the time. The cafeteria had amazing food and cheaper than any restaurant. I haven't been there in years. The burgers were out of this world.

Last year. Went in with alcohol withdrawal, came out with malnourishment.

He meant America

>scooped like it was ice cream

They do this on purpose so they can tell the doctors exactly what a patient consumed. The scoop is them measuring it precisely.

> Was in the loonie bin because I was gonna off myself
Food was actually really fucking good. Had proper cooks and shit and everything. They had tilapia and shit from time to time and it was actually pretty good.
My gf at the time was in the same bin I got sent to and first thing she told me when I called her from the bin was "The food their is really good" I was not disappointed ..
Other than that I don't have any hospital food stories.
> I guess they had good food so we didn't feel like killing ourselves more so that usual

Been in there for 5 days last time and the food was definitely not good, but not awful to the point of being inedible, the bigest problem was that it was super bland and also I got almost the same shit every day, so I got sick of it really quickly. Dinner was always something made of the same kind of minced meat or fish with potatoes and rice in vegetable sauce. That plus vegetable soup which was made out of the same vegetables. There was so much carrot in everything every single time I almost started disliking it.
Well, overall I'd say I'd rather eat MREs

Fuck that, I'd speak out if I were fed that

I've never been in hospital.

Cheese omelette with hashbrown potatoes, wheat toast with buttery spread and jam, fruit salad, and blood orange slices

did you have a choice or was it all pre planned?

Not sure, just got it.
Choice and other was being pancake and scrambled eggs as shown in previous posts

Probably as good as it gets

To be fair, I had like 5 of them before the staff cut me off.

is hospital cafeteria food a free buffet?

>tfw didnt eat the hospital food at all for the 3 days i was there
>just before i left i took a bite
>it was the best thing ive ever tasted
What the fuck even happened

Not where I am, at least. I had to pay for those 5 cheeseburgers. It was rather cheap, though.

My guess is that your hunger tricked you into thinking that it tasted better than it actually did, but I very well could be wrong.

>my wife makes so much I stopped working

yeah... or maybe it is that you're a lazy cuck

I'm sure the IRB would love to hear about this

hey if getting a bitch some diet coke ain't feeding her right then ethics be damned

I always check with the nurse before I get them food and it's not like I take the food away if they refuse to participate. It's more of a foot-in-the-door tactic. Food is just high-level communication. When you bring someone something they like, it's like "I get you, I know where you come from, let's share this."

Way easier than "sign this paper and let me poke you" up front.

Lazy, I most certainly am.
Cuck? Not quite.
Who is the stupid man, the one who breaks his back for the gain of another?
Or the man who sends another to toil under the whip of the taskmaster while he relaxes enjoying the fruits of their labor.

She makes an excellent living, full time is 3 nights a week, I did my 20 on aircraft carriers and another 10 in the reserves.
She is much younger and needs to earn her own way.
I gave my blood, now she can give hers.

The hospital I eat at even uses the same style of trays that the Navy used.

Some things change, some things remain the same.

Not entirely sure if it's ok, but I don't see it as any more coercive than offering cash for participating. Unless you're doing something really invasive or dangerous like testing drugs or something, it should be fine. I'm assuming it's something like a questionnaire or some shit.

I've been to hospital overnight only once in my life(weird right? and I'm already 30) but that one time all I got was tea, some buns, and cheese slices.

I couldn't sleep all night both because of the pain and the hunger.

when my granny was in the hospital the cafeteria food seemed pretty good. they had a salad buffet, $1.99/lb with really good ingredients, like sliced mushroom and hardboiled eggs.

there was also a very wonderful smoothie cart.

The only upside of my dad dying of cancer was eating the hospital food. The cancer hospital had good food.

Hospital here does a special meal for parents who just had a baby. Got a ribeye, baked potato , steamed veggies, a salad, and a molten chocolate cake which were all fantastic. Wife said the regular meals werent bad just bland but they gave salt and pepper packets

What’s it like being a complete fucking mess?

This can't be real
Why is she married to you then? Your dick that good?

2 SCOOPS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

...

I was in the hospital at the age of 20 for a heart issue and they put me on a low salt diet.

The only meal I remember being served was some spaghetti on it that had been cooked in water completely devoid of salt.

One night my parents snuck in a hamburger and fries from a fast food place. That was my only decent meal there.

On the other hand, I used to do some work for a really big time lawyer (he was Chairman of the Board and Majority Stockholder in two companies on the New York Stock Exchange). His wife told me that when she was in the hospital for something relatively minor, they served her lobster.

I know of one hospital that is worth going to the cafeteria for lunch. For things like a hamburger and fries, fish sandwich, ..., the food is as good as just about anywhere else, but they give better servings and the prices are about 2/3 of what the fast food joints cost.

That purple shit looks good

The only good hospital food I've ever had, was when I was 16 and could stay in a children's hospital. They had a 4 page menu, and would make you whatever you wanted, at any time. Other visits, see OPs picture.

lol Amerilards

It was a congenital issue. Not something due to bad diet or anything.

>squash shaped coins
you mean squash medallions?

>squash shaped coins

kek

Worst was a fucking microwave pudding in my local hospital. Slimy and bland, gross as hell.
Best was a proper home made roast dinner, on a real plate. I'd been starving because of surgery and I was given this gorgeous plate of fucking beef and veg.

>They gave you whatever the food was that day

As opposed to
