'''History'''
----
It is described in the medical literature that the first '''book of delivery menus''' was created by nurses who worked alongside Hippocrates. These brilliant nurses or "muses," as Hippocrates referred to them, believed that the only way medical personnel could uphold the words of the [[Hippocratic Oath]] was by making sure they were fed at every waking moment. This first '''book of delivery menus''' was focused mainly on Greek cuisine and the Mediterranean diet, though a few Chinese takeout menus were found as well. The impressive thoroughness of this first '''book of delivery menus''' ensured, alongside the greatness of the [[Nurses Potluck|nurses potluck]], that medical personnel were fed and fed well for millenia to come. Every great civilization ever since has evidence of a '''book of delivery menus''', thus showing its importance as the bedrock of civilization. In fact, some historians believe that the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu was build to house and protect Pachacuti's '''book of delivery menus'''menu stash.

It even suggests putting a hospital on diversion in order to ensure completion of the task.
