I stared at that little Ziploc bag of liquid that flowed into my veins via IV hook up for 2 days. I asked each nurse what it was and I got answers like, “it’s a sugar and water solution to give you energy since you can’t eat while in surgery” or “it’s a water and salt solution to keep you hydrated”. SUGAR? SALT? WATER? HYDRATION? Is it my imagination or are hospitals giving I.V. GATORADE ??????????????? Would a little I.V. Grey Goose kill them? potato? water? dulls the pain? Come on medical professionals … Let’s get creative!!!
