Navy veteran David Miller said that when he checked into the
Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Iowa City, he didn’t realize he
would get a hard sell for Christian fundamentalism along with treatment
for his kidney stones.
Miller, 46, an Orthodox Jew, said he was
repeatedly proselytized by hospital chaplains and staff in attempts to
convert him to Christianity during three hospitalizations over the past
two years.
He said he went hungry each time because the hospital
wouldn’t serve him kosher food, and the staff refused to contact his
rabbi, who could have brought him something to eat.
