Food after coronary procedure

Posted By The Biodelta

"Food after coronary procedure"

About: Prince of Wales Hospital / DB3N - Cardiology Ward

(as the patient),

I was in hospital subsequent to coronary procedure, a night stay over. Breakfast didn't arrive until midmorning the day after night stay.

I made my way to administrative counter and was informed it is on its way.

Reconstituted orange juice, imported!

Two satchels of Australian sugar!

Two slices of white bread!

One punnet of hydrogenated vegetable oil!

One punnet of extra gooey sweet transparent jam!

This is my second overnight stay in a few months, my earlier stay offered the same!

What I have learnt is that diet is crucially important in prevention of cardiovascular disease and with the hospital providing such seemingly  interesting examples of diet to their patients, I worry this will bring on the diabetes!

Might I suggest the hospital employees a dietician to advise on what I believe might constitute edible food rather than what it seems is currently on offer.

The medical staff are great and I have nothing but the highest respect for them but the food? In my opinion, it is something else!!

Regards

The Biodelta

Good morning The Biodelta,

Sorry for your experience with the meals provided in your recent hospital stay.

My current role does not manage the food service however food services are provided by HealthShare NSW, the shared services organisation within NSW Health.

Feedback is welcome from patients and families. It should be submitted to hsnsw@yourfeedback.nsw.gov.au, or via Your feedback at https://www.healthshare.nsw.gov.au/contact

It is pleasing to see you had a positive experience with the medical care you received during this admission.

I hope you are recovering well.

Kind regards

Justin O'Hare
