I have said numerous times that this VA hospital is the best, but I shouldn't say that with 100 percent conviction. The reason I say this is I recent had a major surgery there and that was great because how well everything went, however I was not at all happy with the food. Being a Certified Dietary Manager and work in a healthcare facility I really was heart broken when it came to the meals that were served to me. The best meal was the night I came out of my anesthesia (late) and the nurse literally brought me a microwavable lean cuisine meal. Breakfast was horrible.... How do you burn scrambled eggs and still be undercooked in the middle. Lunch was much worse.... A small chunk of meat (pot roast) which was rubbery and instant (yuck) garlic mashed potatoes. Oh yeah and a cup of fruit cocktail. I was not impressed. All that being said clinically I think James Haley VA hospital as no equal, but take a closer look at your support services and demand better from them.
