After being admitted to many hospitals, both private and public over the years, I was admitted to the Epworth this week for a day procedure.
It was my best hospital experience ever.
I can't fault the staff.
Due to my requirements to lose weight for surgery I am on a restrictive diet.
I was unable to eat the usual recovery foods on offer but the cafeteria sent me a something I'm allowed, gratis.
That said, I was surprised at how small the cafe was and amazed at the quantity of high sugar and high carb foods there were.
They were bringing out some gluten free goods for lunch after I'd be gone.
It is a shame that catering companies only see black and white.
Healthy eating is not by necessity gluten free.
It does mean less highly processed foods and less grain based products. It means lots of vegetables.
I don't eat bread nor bread substitutes, but I'm not alone in this. (No pastry or cereals either).
There was not a single food that I am allowed available at the cafe when I walked in.
I hope they have another better cafe for staff.
