Today, I went to a fast-food joint and ordered off the $1.00 menu to save money. Five hours later I go to the hospital with food-poisoning. After a whole day of not eating, crapping, puking, having tests, and a bunch of IV fluids, my $1.00 burger ended up costing me $2,000 in bills. Really. FML

Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML

Was it worth it?

Today, I had a stomach bug, but despite it I swallowed a mouthful of habanero sauce on a dare. I ended up projectile vomiting on a wall outside, lost my sense of balance and fell over on the sidewalk, almost blacked out from the tightness in my chest, and had to refuse an ambulance that somebody had called. All for $5. FML

Today, after months of avoiding fast food, I decided to eat some McDonald's french fries. Though the fries were delicious, they were not worth the agonizing 15 minutes I spent on the toilet afterwards. FML

Today, I had horrible pains in my stomach area so I went to the doctors. They couldn't find anything wrong and sent me to the Emergency Room for X-rays. After spending the entire day in the hospital, they tell me I'm slightly constipated. I had to pay $400 to find out I had to take a shit. FML

Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML

Today, I got food poisoning from a restaurant that I had chosen for our company party. Everyone who went blamed me for their predicament. I also had to run to the toilet every ten minutes while they were all mad at me. FML

Today, I went out for some very expensive sushi. Two hours later, I found myself on the toilet, violently voiding my bowels. I essentially paid to have liquid orange shit. FML

Today, I spent 5 hours in the emergency room for what I thought was heavy bloody diarrhea. After having various implements and doctors' fingers shoved up my ass, it turns out I was only shitting out the family-sized bag of red spicy cheese curls I had eaten for lunch. FML

There's no way that would cost 24 grand. 3 months ago I had an ER visit, an EKG, CAT scan, multiple other tests, IV fluids & antibiotics, & an overnight stay for a massive infection that had almost lead to sepsis. It (would have if I hadn't had insurance) cost me $9,000.

#91, the UK dental care may not be perfect but it's pretty good. We can get dental insurance and get private care, or we can use the subsidised NHS care. I'm an NHS patient and I recently had eight white fillings and two amalgam fillings spread out over four apppointments. All of that (plus my inital appointment with X-rays and everything) cost me £44.60. If I had done it privately it would have been about £80 PER TOOTH, plus the consultation fees, X-rays etc. So I'm actually pretty fond of the NHS. It may not be perfect, but I'm thankful for it.

You're right, the UK health system is great ... I got a filling when I was living there and it cost me 14 pounds, one year later, the exact same filling in Australia cost me $285 ... Admittedly, it was the same filling, so the British one didn't last as long, but at least they covered it. The NHS was great, something the Australians (who are slowly but surely falling behind to the American system's level) should learn from...

I'd highly doubt it was from the fast food place given the amount of time... The problem is it's so hard to trace back for some people where they've been and ate etc...

#6, #20 and anyone else making comments on the cost of groceries versus eating out: Did you people ever think that he meant he went to a fast food restaurant because he wanted to, but he ordered of the dollar menu to save money at the restaurant instead of ordering something more expensive?? He never said he went to a fast food restaurant to save money! And food poisoning does not take more then 24 hours to show. OP: Wow, that sucks. I had something similar before. Ate at a fast food place b/c I was out and didn't have any other choice for lunch. Got food poisoning and was so sick. Except I have free health care....
