Did you ever notice that hospitals serve green Jell-O 99% of the
time (orange is the other 1%). If you want red Jell-O you gotta get
it at the cafeteria downstairs.

Who buy's Jell-O in a hospital cafeteria anyway?

A: The people who are sick of eating patient's green Jell-O, that's

of course there is no red Jell-o, red screws up certain tests.

But they never even give you any food until any tests or surgeries
are done. You usually only get food after surgery and during
recovery. And sometimes not even then. You're often lucky to even
get water - ice chips maybe.

I was thinking "no red" because it reminds you of blood and guts.

So if you are in there for six days they don't feed you because they may
do more tests?

I've seen red jell-o in hospitals.

Blood tests and such, yes. But if there's a chance of upcoming
surgery or another surgery, not a chance.

Never in the rooms. I've been in a hospital room every day for the
last 10, and 30+ days before that. Nobody ever got red jello in any
room I've been in. But everybody gets jello.

Red Jell-O is common! Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, etc.

A common combo (when I was a kid) was some kinda "red" Jell-O and
fruit cocktail. That's gone?

They had me on a clear fluid diet for the four days I was in hospital
for my gall bladder. Every meal included red jello.

Yeah, that might make sense if clear fluid diets didn't specifically
exclude RED Jello-O.

Dave here just wanted to chime in with something Anti-Sqwertz. He
does it frequently all the time and it never makes sense.

Anyway - here is the major reason Red Jello isn't served to patients
(or on clear fluid diets). Janet had the closest correct answer.

https://www.livestrong.com/article/4...-liquid-diets/

I also think it's a mental thing - blood, guts, swellgin, scars...
ALL RED. Why is there never a 13th floor in a hospital or rooms
ending in "13" (wait for it: "My hospital has a 13th floor...")

Same here, Joan. I always preferred the orange Jell-0.
Odd to eat it plain.
With fruit cocktail was good.
Also with fresh sliced banana was good.
(Both of those mixed in before it jelled)

Add a bit of vanilla ice cream at serving time,
was even better.

That said, I haven't had Jell-O since I was a kid.
I'll add that to my bucket list...
Orange Jell-O with banana and vanilla ice cream.

And since I never made all the years my daughter was growing up,
maybe I'll make it the next time she comes for a visit.

I've never been in a hospital so I know nothing about it.

ADD ME! Never as an inpatient and I plan to continue the trend.

I did have to go (outpatient) last October. Right before my
Medicare kicked in unfortunately. (Dec.1)

Private doctor visit cost $92. Reasonable price.
Then he sent me to the hospital for chest x-rays.
The x-ray doctor charged $70-something for their work.
Again a reasonable price for 5 x-rays.
The hospital finally sent me a bill just for being there
and the use of their equipment. $830. *******s!

So that one day cost me almost $1000. Fuggin hospitals.

BTW, the chest x-rays showed that all was well....WHEW!
It had been over 30 years since the last one so I was
worried. Expensive day but ended my worrying.
For that reason, it was worth the price I suppose.

Anyway, if my insurance had started then, I would have
had to pay about $200 vs the $1000 that I did pay.
BUT...since then I've paid insurance $1240 so far
for premiums and I haven't needed to go back anyway.

It's a lose-lose situation, imo.
Now, I'm paying about $1650 per year and still
don't need any medical care. Maybe I just need to
start getting sickly more often.

Hopefully, NOT! :O WTH?

Orange Jell-O is good with Mandarin orange segments... and add orange
flavored seltza to the syrup for the liquid.
I never liked fruit cocktail.
Actually my favorite Jell-O is lime.

That's odd, what symptoms required five chest views? Typicallly there
are only two views, one frontal and one lateral. For something
requiring more detail the doctor would have wanted a CAT scan.
How long ago did you get chest X-rays... nowadays they no longer use
film, now X-rays are digital, costs a lot less.

Had you purchased medical insurance it could have cost you nothing
other than the ins premium which is low through AARP. Even with
Medicare you still need ins, there's a lot that Medicare doesn't
cover.

Colonoscopy comes to mind. The last time I had one the prep
instructions said I could drink Gatorade but NOT the red stuff. I'm
sure the reasons for no red Jell-O are the same.

Not really, Steve. When I was hospitalized in 2008 they didn't give me
any Jell-O, not even green Jell-O.

It's been about 6 months since I've fixed and eaten any. Close to time

My guess is that these charges will be typical in the coming years. It's kind of a money grab and old folks are going to be a prime target. The medical field has found out what the shysters have known for years - the elderly are an easy mark.

In America, money is the first consideration above all else. I suppose that's ok but these days, it's getting ridiculous. The new world is no county for old men.

I had a colonoscopy last week. I was restricted to a clear liquid diet. No red drinks, of course. That could mask bleeding into the colon.

To clear my guts out, I drank a bottle of magnesium citrate, with a second on a few hours afterwards. These were relatively small 10oz bottles. The liquid has an intense sweet-salty lemony taste. Ha ha, the taste is similar to li hing mui powder which is popular in Hawaii. The taste might make folks on the mainland gag but I thought it went down real smooth like.

This is one tough country to live in if you're old or not in good health. Evidently, Americans are okay with that.

I think the boomers of America still have some time to take action but in about a decade, nobody's going to care about them. At that time, they won't have a choice. They'll get everything that they deserve. That's the breaks.

I am, as they say, in no position to complain.

Dole makes a kind of expensive (over two bucks) four pack of pre-made
fruit jellos. They should be in the canned fruit section of a
supermarket that carries Dole. They have mandarin oranges in orange
gel, peaches in strawberry gel, mixed fruit in cherry gel and mangoes
in mango gel. Look for "Gel" on the package if interested. I love 'em
all.
Of course, anyone could make these things, far cheaper. Have I ever
made Jello? I can't remember, but I bet I could if I wanted.
On a side note, I really should make some ambrosia or watergate salad
some time. I really liked that stuff. Why am I not eating it now?

If you can boil water and stir it into a bowl with a packet of Jell-O powder,
then you can make Jell-O. If you want fruit in it you'll have to wait until
it's starting to jell before adding.

Ambrosia and Watergate salad are two of my favorites! For some reason
ambrosia only seems to show up around Christmas.
