This affects short and long-term morbidity and even plays a significant role in some mortality figures. Instead of faffing about with sugar - which may be the only half decent immediate energy intake some patients get - why not assess the nutritional status of vulnerable patients properly and provide the required nutrition and, more importantly, the nursing assistance to eat it. How many of us see uneaten food lurking at the side of frail patients beds - they could do with a 'spoonful of sugar'. <br />Sick and tired of these health 'education' prats who are incapable of working smarter but just make the rest of us work harder.Clarindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189996558442989039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-47668824730871691992010-06-29T08:58:18.879+01:002010-06-29T08:58:18.879+01:00Health fascism and Global Warming orthodoxy will c...Health fascism and Global Warming orthodoxy will combine to form the new state religion.<br /><br />You won't get to live forever but it will be so tedious that it will certainly feel like it.Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-38212349213228927632010-06-29T08:58:06.603+01:002010-06-29T08:58:06.603+01:00Re sweeteners and the Righteous:
