Food for thought after hospital stay

- GEORGE LAWSON

I SPENT seven days in the hospital at Cramlingto­n in July 2017 having had a serious operation on my femur.

It required two metal pins, one the length of the femur.

During my stay I found the food very good and varied. Each day I was presented with a wide menu to select my meals for the next day.

If anyone goes to this hospital and cannot find a suitable choice I wonder what sort of meals they have at home.

It must also be remembered that some patients have their meals chosen by nutritioni­sts to suit their particular condition.

After being transferre­d to another hospital, the Borders General at Melrose, for further treatment, I found that the food there was equally good.

I agree that any food taken in

should be checked by the nursing staff.
