actually, turi, i mentioned this before: i starved for the
first two days. with no introduction whatsoever (because they
were running on a skeleton crew over the bank holiday, with
minimal agency staff and outside-contracted junior doctors)
it was at least a day before i even knew there was a canteen,
as i was only able to deduce its existence (and the opening
times) by the fact that a few actual patients would bring food
into Saxon Ward at certain times, in takeaway containers.

it was also not explained to me that permission could be
sought to leave the ward in order to *REACH* the canteen.
only after two days of observing actual patients go through
what was normally a locked door next to the office did i
get enough courage to attempt the same thing myself.

on being surprised that nobody stopped me, i watched people
turn into an area where others had come out with food trays,
and DISCOVERED a canteen existed.

i was then completely dismayed to find "standard fare" of
non-ketogenic non-autistic-suitable food (chips, pasta,
rice) and that's when i wrote the note (and photographed it)
to request that my dietary needs be met (they never were,
which is why the meticulous documentation of what i ate,
and when, is so crucial).

as a result of this negligence i starved for two days, before
my friend smuggled in some food supplies from my motorhome
on one of his visits.

eventually i worked out that i could request salad from the
Cook for lunch and dinner, and i was "permitted" two pieces of
fruit each morning.
i also would grab as many marmite pats as possible, but there
were some mornings where they ran out.
(marmite is high in B vitamins, i eat between 5-10 grams A DAY)

actual hot meals: two, i believe. one chili con carne, around
day 12, the other a fry-up (egg, bacon, mushroom) which i was
getting desperate and had to ignore that it was cooked in
vegetable oil (inflammatory-inducing)

you need to understand Turi that AH has one of the worst
reputations in the country. i made friends in southampton
who related similar stories of neglect and abuse.

and with the persistent lying, it is just as obvious that
NHS SH Trust knows this full well.
