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

#38- Deli Meat alone would cost you 5 and bread is normally around 3 where I live. You can buy same quality food as McDonalds has where I live, actual food though will cost you more.

I bet it was Taco Bell. Hubby had something similar happen to him. I hope you feel better.

That sucks. Move somewhere with good health care. I spent a week in hospital last year and I didn't pay a thing.

So, you went and got a burger today, and five hours later you went to the hospital. And 36 hours later you got a $24,000 bill? Bought burger today...5...36...tomorrow...in the future...BS!

#43, If it is cheaper to go out to McDonald's than to buy food from the store and make it yourself, then why don't your parents take you out to McDonald's for every meal? They don't cause they like saving money and it's cheaper to have a home cooked meal than to go out. Even if we use your prices, you spend 8 bucks and you have at the very least 3 meals (you would still have excess bread after this too). People normally buy at least 3 things off the dollar menu for a meal, costing you $9 for three meals. This is all using conservative estimates as well. BTW, your 15 ******* years old. your parents probably buy all your shit for you. Wait till you gotta pay your way through school, are working shit jobs, and actually create your own budget.
