In college I worked at Baptist Hospital in Knoxville. Their guest coffee shop was next to the morgue and across from the ER. Not real pleasant when sitting in there and they rolled a body down the hall or someone who did not arrive by ambulance parked in the visitor lot and went in the side entrance to ER.
A HUGE Part of the Problem

My hospital has the McDonalds, a starbucks, piano bar (minus the bar) and they are adding a subway.

Hate to tell you, but the hospital has been closed. It is still standing though. I guess you could break in and relive your college years.

Some quotes/factoids from Supersize Me. Man I forgot how bad this stuff is....I am done with fast food and so are my kids....my exwife? She can eat all the McDs she wants....jl, lol...
Morgan Spurlock: [while consuming a double quarter-pounder supersize meal] See, now's the time of the meal when you start getting the McStomach ache. You start getting the McTummy. You get the McGurgles in there. You get the McBrick, then you get the McStomach ache. Right now I've got some McGas that's rockin'. My arms... I feel like I've got some McSweats goin'. My arms got the McTwitches going in here from all the sugar that's going in my body right now. I'm feeling a little McCrazy.
Morgan Spurlock: After six months of deliberation, Judge Robert Sweet dismissed the lawsuit against McDonald's. The big reason? The two girls failed to show that eating McDonald's food was what caused their injuries. Interesting, in only thirty days of eating nothing but McDonald's I gained twenty-four and a half pounds, my liver turned to fat and my cholesterol shot up sixty-five points. My body fat percentage went from eleven to eighteen percent, still below the national average of twenty-two percent for men and thirty percent for women. I nearly doubled my risk of coronary heart disease, making myself twice as likely to have heart failure. I felt depressed and exhaused most of the time, my mood swung on a dime and my sex life was non existent. I craved this food more and more when I ate it, and got massive headaches when I didn't. In my final blood test many of my body functions showed signs of improvement, but the doctors were less than optimistic.
Morgan Spurlock: ...another disturbing fact. Over the course of the 30 days, I generated more than 13 bags of garbage. Multiply my daily amount by 46 million; the amount of people they feed each day, and you get enough garbage to fill the Empire State Building... every single day... and thats only 1 fast food chain... in one day.
Yep, they are a perfect match for the fat, bald, old men that frequent Waffle House at 2 AM.
