Sunday dinners in the cardiac unit every week were beef stroganoff made with sour cream over buttered noodles. Oh, and chocolate ice cream.
On the bright side, I was in the right place (cardiac unit) if my ticker seized up from eating all of that crap.....  |
That's appalling from a patient care perspective. And fantastic from a profit perspective. Feed you a bunch of cheap shitty food and if you crash and need $1M worth of additional surgery and ICU time...well, the ROI on that 10-cent serving of bacon starts looking pretty good.
