I agree that her complaints re: hospital food are pretty unsympathetic.

However, suggesting that an institutionalized teen in a mental ward had the ability to stroll down to Food Services to negotiate the garnishing of her meals is also pretty unrealistic.

Similarly, the psychiatrists in charge don't give a fuck. I spent lots of time on psych wards during training. Most psychiatrists were only ever physically present on the wards for 30 mins or less in the morning for rounding on patients and did little other than tinker with meds and arrange discharges, let alone cater to the inmates comfort whims.
