If I duplicate my response I apologize as I was booted offline. I am pleased to hear that you had a positive experience, however, ER and triage care is different to that on medical floors. I have had the good fortune to be from NYC where the majority of our hospitals are teaching institutions. This predicates the necessity for quality instruction and care. My concern was not the quality of food.. we can provide our own... (and have done so in NYC hospitals where it was stinky), however, Did I mention that the ER nurse disposed of contaminated needles in the general garbage? I left that out not to be too critical.. Oh by the way.. I know I didn't mention that my mom was released with her IV in and I had to remove it myself at home. We have all had different experiences in service and care no matter what the institution, however, my concern is that my observations were taken "with a grain of salt". Knowledge is power.
