I had to fast from food and drink for a procedure that got delayed into the afternoon. Fasting from food wasn’t a problem but not drinking had dehydrated me so much they had a hard time starting an IV.
Oh Yeah! And even worse is when they inform you (when you wake up and have been moved to a room) that they have no order to feed you until you see the doctor so you try to sleep it off. The next morning they still won’t feed you until your doctor makes his rounds … and he shows up at 2 pm in the afternoon!

Brace yourself for the malpractice suit.

Unfortunately, that does have a touch and feel of reality.
