An Apple A Day

For those who actually believe in the odious misconception that doctors actually live in a life of opulent luxury unseen since the heady days of the sinfully wealthy maharajas, they couldn't be more wrong. Far from living in the land of milk and honey, it's possible that we're actually being persistently fed an unhealthy cholesterol-laden diet that's calculated to kill us off softly - if stress and overwork ( and that unfortunate nagging chest pains ) doesn't kill us first.


Not what you're gonna get here!
Just take a look at what's in our pantry at work. Far from pandering to the regular notion that doctors conform to the acsetic diet of a vegan mystic enconsced in a mountain hermitage, our larder actually resembles the stuffed backpack of a pimpled, testosterone-poisoned sixteen year old jock - sans homework.

Although I swear I saw a few ancient scribbled case notes flying out when I opened it.

And that's about the only touch of high fibre you'll see. Think chips. Think snack foods. Think peanut butter and jelly. Think instant noodles. Think burn-your-stomach java. Anything fast and furious, easy to nibble and chew, quick to digest and burn. Short of an intravenous dextrose drip, anything goes. Seriously, post-adolescent frat boys mugging for their tests would go wild over the easy pickings.

Wonder what the hospital nutritionist would think :)

But I guess keeping it to an apple a day would keep the snack-craving doctors away.
