How can it be click bait when it was shown in a closed FB group?

We all know the person who posted, also a private member

of this closed FB group.

Anyone can lift a fake pic from anywhere and posted as true even a member of a private group.  This picture suits the group's purpose.  The goal of click bait pictures is to get them to shared, just like you did outside of the group and for people to start to believe they are true.

Giggle.

I love it when someone learns a new word & uses it incorrectly...

like when a little one pronounces spaghetti incorrectly...”pasketti”.

Everyone kinda chuckles under their breath.

Ah, um....as a PSA, I’ll explain:

”Clickbait”

Something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest. (Webster Dictionary)

A picture posted without any links is not ‘Clickbait’.

There’s nothing to ‘click’ & nothing listed to ‘bait’ you to click further.  

Clickbait is against QVC Guidelines. 

As as much as the Public wants to ignore, this IS true.

If one is in the hospital for cardiovascular surgery, there’s a greater than zero chance they didn’t get there by eating lots of broccoli & kale. The hospital just wants to make the patient comfortable...by eating icky post-op food...something the patient is familiar with. Having doctors smoke in their offices & serving steak to post-op patients was a thing, at one time. Nothing shocks me in the medical world.

That breakfast looks too heavy for anyone who is lying in a hospital bed...never mind that it is unhealthy.We have homemade pancakes once in awhile as a treat but I never think of them in any other way.

Maybe the sausage is turkey?

Scientific studies have shown us that only about 15% of the cholesterol in our bodies comes from eating fats. The rest is manufactured in our liver from various sugars that the body stores. Since we must eat sugars and some fats to live there is little you can actually do about this process. I've cared for many a very thin and fit bypass  heart surgery patient. A lot depends upon genetics. 

I am overweight, prediabetic and don't get enough exercise but my cholesterol is very low -- good genes. Heart attacks and strokes are uncommon in my family on both sides.

I recall sitting in the cafeteria at work eating a large cookie they used to sell there and one of our heart surgeons who was very thin, fit and a vegeterian was mocking me for eating that cookie. He was about 35 and I was about 50 at the time. He said "one of these days I'll have to go in and remove that cookie from your coronary arteries." Well, the joke was on him when he had a big MI at work and had to have open heart surgery himself. And , yes, I took care of him post op and really had to bite my tongue.

Apparently his physicians did not put him on a restricted diet or perhaps the patient opted not to comply.  It's the patient's choice.  You do know that, the physicians have to write an order in the medical when a patient's diet is restricted?  Most hospitals today let patients call in their own meals.  It's not like olden days when the kitchen prepared just one meal and it was served to every patient.  Today, hospitals have menus and you call in your own meals.  Whatever.  This person with blockages that required stents isn't going to get any worse because he eats a sausage or drinks some milk while he's in the hospital.  The patient will, if he wants it, be instructed and guided in a heart healthy lifestyle.  However, it's a choice.  Some people choose not to change their diets of lifestyles.

What I've learned after two recent admissions to Major health centers is that you get a generic meal the first meal or so, and once they have your requests you start receiving your personal order.

Oh, there was also an admission where you picked up the phone, if you were able, and ordered what you wanted.

Bingo!  That's the way it goes in the modern world.  Diet restrictions have to be ordered by the physician.  I don't why people think the kitchen decides what people eat...lol   That first meal or two, they send a meal but after that, the patients order their own means....and snacks.  I'm going to be admitted for my knee replacement surgery later this week and we went to the information meeting where they gave us the menu.  Omg!  It's a great menu and patients (who aren't on restricted diets) can order anything they want, any time they want it.  You can also order a meal for a guest too.  Hospitals have to stay competetive today and food is important to patients and families.

I'm pretty sure that most hospitals have landline phones in the rooms.  I was in the Cleveland Clinic main campus in Cleveland which is a world renowned hospital and I had a landline phone. 

As far as that food goes, as others have said, cardiac patients are most often put on low sodium diets.  That fits low sodium.  Healthy otherwise?  No.  But it's low sodium. 

I don't believe that is real butter and I don't for a minute believe that is a diet coke for the patient that was brought by the hospital. 

When my husband was in the hospital last year, he hadn't eaten all day so about 1:00 they brought him a banana.  All that did was horribly spike his blood sugar.  But hey.  It was fruit.

When you are in the hospital, yes you order your own meals but if your doctor puts you on a restricted diet of some sort, you are limited to those restrictions.  It's not an option for you not to comply.  The kitchen shouldn't be bringing you stuff you order because you want it, if your doctor has restricted you.

A few years ago I was hospitalized and being checked for heart issues.  I was put on a low sodium diet.  I wasn't allowed to order whatever I wanted from the menu.

As far as your system being compromised so you should be eating light, I don't mean to poo poo anything but having stents put in isn't that big of a deal, unless you have a problem.  You aren't even knocked out for it.  People have them and are cleared to go back to work.  My DH had one put in on a Friday and could have gone back to work on Monday.

It was seriously like an assembly line at the hospital he was at.
