In contrast, the meals in public hospitals are not only close to the people, but even lower than those in small restaurants outside hospitals. It is really a "public canteen".
For example, the dining hall of Chaoyang Hospital provides more than 20 kinds of dishes, the price ranges from 3 yuan to 7 yuan, and the staple food is about 1 yuan. The reporter learned from the staff in the canteen that the cheapest snacks delivered to the ward range from 6 yuan to 8 yuan, and there are set meals with the standard of 10 yuan.
In Jishuitan Hospital, the reporter and a friend of his colleague ordered scrambled eggs with tomatoes (7 yuan) and shredded Chili (10 yuan), plus two bowls of rice (1 yuan), which cost less than 10 yuan per capita.
In the canteen of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, the reporter saw that the price of stir-fried dishes ranged from 5 to 14 yuan, one from jiaozi to 8 yuan, and the other from rice to fried noodles to 6 yuan. In the Union Medical College Hospital, patients' treatment meal expenses take diabetic patients as an example. The total meal fee for one day is 17 yuan, 3 yuan for breakfast and 7 yuan for lunch and dinner.
Although the prices of meals in public hospitals are different, if you eat three meals in their canteens, it will be enough to spend about 30 yuan every day.
-Reporter's Note: Why did you shut the patient out?
"People eat for the sky." Eating is a big deal. If you are an inpatient or a patient's family member, you must go to the hospital cafeteria. Moreover, as a medical institution, the hospital has its own unique set of disinfection and hygiene for each department. In order to prevent the spread of germs and "diseases from entering the mouth", the management of hospital canteens is strict, so the quality of meals is generally reassuring.
If the hospital is only open to internal staff and does not accept "outsiders", the family members of patients who accompany the bed for a long time can only go to restaurants around the hospital for dinner, but the hygiene of small restaurants around the hospital seems to be untrustworthy.
This survey visited these hospitals, and the reporters chose "rice". After being turned away from some hospitals, it is inevitable to be a little depressed; If we can walk into the hospital cafeteria, regardless of patients, doctors and nurses, we will sit together and have a steaming lunch, and we will feel warm all over.
Closed canteens also have their own considerations-in order to protect employees, it can prevent cross-infection and reduce a lot of trouble. But these concerns, for hospitals, do not seem to be unsolvable technical problems.
For example, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, whose canteen is open to the public, has a clear sign: "It is strictly forbidden to wear sick clothes and work clothes to enter the canteen." At the entrance of the canteen of the teaching building of Union Medical College Hospital, "No eating in a white coat" is posted.
In fact, as we all know, there is no absolutely sterile restaurant. As long as we insist on strict disinfection of tableware and dining environment, we can truly implement "no sick clothes, white coats" and carry out separate catering for patients who will spread diseases through the gastrointestinal tract. By doing this, the probability of being infected with diseases in the hospital cafeteria will not be higher than that in other restaurants.
