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.

Also generally being noncompliant/a pain in the ass until they bring you actual food is another option, but I'd be paranoid that if they're already such scumbags, they'd do something like using restraints+a feeding tube or something. I have no idea whether that's a reasonable fear or not, but again a lawyer might be able to help
