What is the name of your state?NJ
I went to a local restaurant and ate steakthat tasted fine but made me violently ill. I woke up about 2am with fever, vomiting and diarhea. I couldn't eat or even get out of bed the entire next day. That evening I notice blood in my stool and called my doctor to see if I should go to the ER. When I didn't receive a call back, I decided to try to hold off until the morning. By now I was able to sip gingerale and eat crackers. By the next day I could eat some food again. The next time I had a bowel movement, however, there was still blood, so I went to the doctor thinking I had ruptured something for sure. She said that the symptom are those of E coli poisoning. I notified the restaurant when I first became ill and they sent me a note and $50 gift certifcate. After finding out that it was E coli, I wrote them and told them that, even though it was a nice gesture, it hardly compensated for the misery, lost work and medical bills. I have not had a response. I hadn't intended on suing them, but I do feel I should be compensated. I was so so so sick!
