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 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

Sue the bastards... You'd win, even with a sucky lawyer. Well. I don't know. BUT SUE THEM! That's what the US is best known for.

Gotta love Scrubs Mr. Hogan: Well, who can say no to 49-cent cheeseburgers? Carla: Sure, but tack on the cost of medicine, your room, and pumping your stomach, and that 49-cent cheeseburger is gonna run you in the neighborhood of thirteen hundred dollars. Mr. Hogan: Heh. See, that's how they get you

It couldn't have been the fast food place, if you got food poisoning 5 hours after you ate at said fast food place. Food bourne illness takes 24 hours to set in.

Actually, depends on which food bourne illness. I've definitely gotten sick from bad fish within 1-2 hours

To sue is just to help you get by at this point--I mean, food poisoning is food poisoning. You have the right to sue, but I think going through that and possibly failing is also a FML, so prepare yourself :/ Good luck!

Your burger was probably made by those ex-Domino's workers. I hope you have insurance.

wow this fmylife is complete and utter bullshit/a lie. all they do is put you on an IV to replace the electrolytes you've lost and to make you don't dehydrate. for the most part, you don't even get antibiotics since it is a food intoxication(not infection or poisoning as the mass media has you believe), and they send you home unless you ate raw chicken or raw burgers - in which you would have to be an idiot to not visible even see that in the food you were eating. and if it was only 36 hours, it definitely wasn't severe food poisoning and doctors definitely didn't run any tests. lol.
