The truth is…
A vegan doctor working in a hospital emergency room does not have to treat any patient who comes in with a gunshot wound due to a hunting accident. The doctor can just claim religious freedom and let the patient die.

#TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)
This is 100% false. First physicians in nearly every country take an oath not to harm patients. Second, vegans often abstain from eating animals for ethical reasons and presumably the fictional vegan doctor here is motivated for that reason, and since humans are animals, she would not inflict harm on any animal, including her human patient.
(It’s true that a person could be vegan for religious reasons and refuse to do certain things under religious freedom, but again, letting someone die would contradict those religious beliefs.)
