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.

If you read ops responses, they're being abusive to people. That's why I'm down voting op.

I don't think there is a conspiracy honestly. OP's just treating a lot of people badly, and it's not normal to be calling people dickwads or whatever.

They even write in their post they were irritable, which suggests they were possibly treating the staff poorly too

I've read their responses and they've been perfectly reasonable, especially considering the fact that they're being mistreated in the hospital and don't have anything to eat.

And, conspiracy? You don't think hospital staff who perceive that they are being treated poorly might decide to treat OP poorly in retaliation?

Sounds like tone policing is another cope.
