Overall, the room service food at St. Joseph hospital is not bad. I probably rate it a out the same as our work cafeteria except there is a bit more variety at work, and everything is super salty. There are actually many food choices available for patients but since I have to conform to renal and cardiac requirements, the final available set of food I can order is really small. I’ve been getting the teriyaki stir fry which has chicken, vegetables, and white rice. I then get the chicken noodle soup and some dessert. Again, not bad.
To order however, you call an extension and place your order by voice. Half the time, the extension doesn’t work, and the other half of the time, the line is busy. Once you place the order, it takes 45 minutes for the food to arrive so there is a significant wait if you were really hungry.
I have to be more diligent when I leave the hospital. Otherwise I’m going to eat whatever and be in trouble again.
