This is why people get sick in hospitals....

Back at SMH... We are trying to get fluids into my mom, she's on a liquid diet and can eat stuff like puddings, etc. soft foods. So I decide to make her one of her favourite hot cereals. And this is what the patient lounge microwave looks like: Oh, btw, this is not unusual. Not in the least. I've seen it pretty much like this several times I've been there. One would think that as the "cleaning person" shuffles around the magazines in there and even pushes the microwave back into the corner, turns the tv on or off and "dusts"... they would think to open the microwave and clean the damn thing. No wonder people get sicker in hospitals. This will make you sick just looking at the pictures.









Their staff's response to this???? Oh, well we should tell them and they'll get it cleaned. ok, but why it's my responsibility is beyond me since they have cleaning staff but I told them last Wednesday and it's now Monday when I took these pictures and it still looks like that. Who's responsibility is it now?

I ended up scrubbing it as clean as I could with clorox wipes. Then well soaked paper towels to get the clorox smell out. It's not my job but I wanted to heat something up and to do it in that thing was just asking way too much. No wonder people pick up stuff in this place that makes them extremely ill. Imagine, like this for days on end and no one notices???
