Not me but have you eaten at this place more than once - do you think it was just an unlucky break or are you supicious it was more than that???

Have you contacted the mgr or owner to report it and see if others have also reported similarly? Without the public making the restaurant aware, other people may also get sick.

Yes, that's a good idea. I'll call them tomorrow. 
 
Actually, my husband and I noticed that their food-handling practices were less than desirable.
 
I'm outta here - I'm going to the emergency room.

That's right -- hope you're feeling better soon. Food poisoning sucks big time.

pk makes a good point about calling the Health Dpt to report the incident, just in case there are more cases. At the least, the restaurant should be offering to pay your doctor's bill. The four or five cases of serious food poisoning which I experienced never left me with enough energy to make it to the front door, so the ER was not an option unless I called the Ambulance, and I probably couldn't make it to the phone anyway.

I should have demanded the cafeteria pay my hospital bill for the case of food poisoning I got after eating their fried chicken seeing as I ended up in the hospital for 8 days in isolation with salmonella, ulcerative colitis, and a kidney infection. Ate around 2:00 p.m. and by late evening I was not only throwing up, nothing stayed in me from any end. Lost a huge amount of weight. The hospital bill was very expensive as you can imagine. Needless to say when my father went to work to get my paycheck he told the assistant manager I had food poisoning and his face turned white as a sheet. That should have been reported to the health department also. Not to mention the hospital had the nerve to call into the room asking how I was going to pay my bill? I had insurance. Needless to say they got blessed out by my mom or dad one. Food poisoning is not pleasant. BR, hope you get better soon.

ladyd, you should have responded to the bill payment question, "Oh, I think my lawsuit will more than cover the bill :twisted::pissed:, due to the pain and suffering. Kick me while I'm down why don't you."

Me too, BR.  When you are strong enough to make it to the keyboard, let us know...or get Beach Jacket to post your progress.

BR feel better soon! :( Please let us know how you are when you can.

Thanks for the well wishes!  The ER ran a lot of tests and determined that I have food poisoning. They put me on IV fluids, gave me Phenergan IV for the nausea, and gave me something (forgot the name) for the bad stomach ache. We didn't get home until after 3 AM.
 
I will call the Health Department. That's a good suggestion pk. And ladyde, can't believe you were sick enough to be in the hospital 8 days. That's scary.:eek: 
 
Back to napping. I'm still drowsy from the Phenergan.

Let me play doctor:clap_1: How long after your meal did you notice symptoms?  What did you eat (if that gives the restaurant identity away, forget it, but there are certain foodborne illnesses classically associated with particular foodstuffs)?  Did anyone share food that had similar symptoms (or lack thereof)?  Fever?  Bloody stool?  Duration of symptoms?  Curious minds want to know!

BR, I am glad they got you taken care of. Those 8 days were awful for me. I didn't go into the hospital until the next day. I went home and went to bed and drank plenty of gatorade but wasn't any better the next day so I decided I needed to go. I went to a minor emergency clinic and had to go rushing to the bathroom. I made the most awful mess all over the bathroom floor, and not from throwing up. They had me on IV's and several combinations of drugs. Thinking back I wished I had sued them. Because I am forever going to have to see the gastroenterologist as that is how I ended up with the ulcerative colitis, even though it is under control. And no one else reported getting sick from that same pan of chicken that I am aware of anyway. Take care.

I got food poisoning yesterday from eating lunch at a place in SoWal. I won't publicly say where. I have been really sick. Just out of curiosity, have any of you gotten sick lately after eating anywhere in SoWal?
