Vegan at a hospital: not respected (lemmy.ml)

At a hospital again. I woke up to stinky meat next to me. They told me they don't have vegan food. They're very ostensibly rude about this. Had to listen to a long tirade from the room"mate" about how carnism is natural.

I'm in a lot of pain which makes me really irritable. I really didn't need to be made to gag with the meat.

Last time I was in a hospital they would throw meat into my food as well making sure it touched everything so I wasn't able to eat the veggies without the corpse taste.

I don't get why people are so malicious about it. I'm trying not to cry not to give them satisfaction. I am vegan for moral reasons. This is extremely uncomfortable.

What, they don't have oatmeal? PB&J? Broccoli? A banana? Not that you don't deserve actual food, but they're saying they "don't have" vegan food? They're full of shit.

Yea, it doesn't make sense. I thankfully got a banana yesterday which I didn't eat so I got to eat something today. They could've brought me any fruit or vegetable. They didn't bring anything. I hope I get out quick...

I hope you do too! I don't suppose there's any way you could order something to be delivered?

I can't move at all and it's a huge hospital. It's also getting very late. I think I'll just sleep on my banana. I appreciate all the supportive people but I'm very tired, too tired to deal with this. I'll try to sleep.
