SERVING THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1870 Vol. 148, No. 4 the week of january 11, 2018 50¢ is tHis You? ecHs wrestling Hospital Food So I was recently in a hospital room visit- ing and a person who lets call “the main eventer,” because pa- tient sounds so sickly. The main eventer was getting attention from the staff of min- ions that scurry about trina macHacek when there are needs commentarY that need to be tended to. That’s a round- about way of saying it was time to do vitals, meds and other hospital stuff. At the same time a gal stopped by from the kitchen to fill out the next day’s menu for the main eventer. This is quite a big deal it seems, this menu plan- ning. I can see that. When you’re in a bed in the hospital and you get attention from anyone that isn’t wanting to poke or prod or do some other unmentionable thing to you, you are more than happy to comply with their requests! So the gal stands at the door and I as a visitor stopped talk- ing and moved towards the wall. That is what happens when you visit a main eventer in the hospital, you shift towards the wall when there’s about to be some sort of hospital medical event performed. This event was the filling out of the menu for the next day’s meals. I don’t know if you have ever been a main eventer in a hospital or how long it has been since you visited someone who was, but I was Courtesy photo amazed at this process.
