[QUOTE="Two Pour Bore, post: 6973567, member: 49511"] I don't think it applies to Irish hospitals because the food is rubbish no matter what way you cut it but I know someone who was in a French hospital (proper grub, steamed potatoes, perfectly cooked green beans and other veg, a whole fish, restaurant level stuff,) and their attitude was that for the really sick you don't particularly care in the moment what they're eating, as a lot of really sick people just need food in them. Most of the actually sick asking for a drink were given Coca Cola or something similar (the proper stuff) because the doctors just cared about the patient getting energy into them no matter what. If a patient had been recovering from something for a week, not eating much, and suddenly said, "Y'know what? I'd love a Big Mac and some chicken nuggets!" someone was sent out for a Big Mac and some chicken nuggets. As for dieticians, the one-and-done meeting thing is just box ticking. When they're dealing with long term cases a lot of what they'll do will be motivation and being someone to keep you on track. Sure, the really top level footballers have private chefs so they're not always ordering curries and burgers, but at the level below that in sports dieticians will be about motivating them to stay the course.
