I know I'm a bit hard on the issue of nutrition but it wouldn't take much to improve it. I remember meeting with a nutritionist when John was in the hospital and there was no depth to the discussion. Lots of fat & sugar to keep up weight. I have no problem with fat but not all fats are created equal. Until he couldn't eat anymore, I made all his meals for him. Then he went on TPN for about six weeks.
And it's true that if you are admitted for only two or three days, you can put up with anything. But long term, it's not enough.
I find it funny that they tell you not eat any raw food and then they serve you an apple or lettuce & tomato on your sandwich.
