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

Wow, that sucks, blame the government. That is why the health care system in the US sucks. I wouldent have to pay a dime for such threatment were I live.

USA needs some kind of Free National Health Service, I can't believe that richest country in the world doesn't have something like that.

that is why i never go to McDonald's. i would sue the restaurant and make them pay your bills.

Where do you live? And there are three options: 1) Sue, kinda obvious. 2) Medical insurance, also obvious. 3) Declare bankruptcy.

A burger is probably not the best thing to eat after having gone through all that. You should have started off small with a little bit of soup or something. Still...FYL.

I do recommend a lawsuit - but try to settle out of court for medical bills x2 - they'll likely think that's a generous offer, and you'll see your money a lot sooner than if it went to court.

Sue. They'll probably settle, and then you won't have to pay the ridiculous bills.

#76, USA isn't the richest country in the world. It has the worlds largest debt, however.

Heh, it's hilarious how people respond to this shit seriously. You think anybody's life sucks this much? It's all BS, start acting like it.
