And we found:
"[...] that a preoperative carbohydrate-rich drink improved well-being and
reduced the length of
discomfort postoperatively. All surgery induces 'a period of diabetes.' If
we can avoid this and get the
patients' systems 'started' prior to the operation, we may help
post-operative recovery and shorten
hospital stay," Professor Ljungqvist said.
What do you think of that???

L'attitude des soignants est un produit de société.[...] Face à
l'allaitement rien n'est innocent. Avec le sein, tout est  porteur de sens.
Dominique Gros (1994)
