I learned something very important today. It's a shame I didn't learn it on day #1. There is an actual coffee shop at the hospital. I've been getting the crappy cafeteria coffee since I started. So this news is very very exciting for me. I haven't tried it yet. I actually passed it on the way to the employee parking lot, and today was the first day I had to park in it. The lot is 2 buildings and a block away from the building I work in, so it's just easiest to go into that first building and use the sky ways to get to the dietitian's office. Anyway, good good deal.
I was with LeAnne today who focuses mainly on the cardiac unit. She talked to quite a few patients on the importance of a heart healthy diet. It's interesting how some people are very interested and proactive when it comes to eating better for their health. Others are very bitter and see nutrition education as something to be ignored. When in actuality, their poor nutritional choices are probably a big reason for them being there in the first place. It's very difficult to emphasize the impacts of nutrition relative to heart disease without looking like we are pointing a finger. Also, how do you go about changing the eating habits of someone who's been eating the same things for decades?? These are the biggest challenges I face so far with this group.
Ooooh boyfriend just showed up and surprised me! Catch up lata!
