Health: Today, I went to a fast-food joint and ordered off the $1.00...

By Sick - 02/05/2009 04:56 - United States

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 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

Your the Idiot that doesn't know that the restaurant is responsible for you being sick ergo you should have sued thus leading to you not having to pay the bill and maybe you even get some nice pocket change.

That does sound pretty expensive to me, but I'm from the cheap midwest. Maybe the OP lives in California or some other expensive place. They did get IVs, after all. And the tests... maybe they thought he/she had salmonella or something. And I'm not blaming the person for ordering a cheap item. Maybe they were out running errands and got hungry? It's not a sin to eat at a restaurant, you know, even if you don't have much money. Not having health insurance sucks, though. I lost my job, so I have a crappy individual plan that doesn't cover much and costs me over $100 a month. I won't go uninsured and I'm fortunate enough to have enough in savings to carry me for a little while, but I understand how others might have to go without.
