Title: Hospital admin has brilliant ideas

Body:

They took away our hot chocolate. We have those automatic coffee machines that will also do hot chocolate. They decided it was probably just the nurses drinking it all so to keep expenses down, got rid of the (I’m sure super spendy) hot chocolate powder. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate around 3 am. But I also took soooo much joy in offering it to family of those middle of the night admits. You know the ones, they have been awake all day and kinda think they might be able to go home and sleep…. But not yet. You offer them coffee but they don’t want it to keep them awake. Their faces just light up when you give them hot chocolate.

What are they going to do next, get rid of warm blankets?

      Also the idea that most nurses would be picking hot cocoa over coffee is… well. I guess the best way to put it is that it strongly suggests that these people don’t actually interact much with nurses.
