On Thursday October 22, 2009 I was admitted to the Beaver, Utah Hospital Emergency room and treated for food posoning, the result of eating two Spicy Chick N Crisp sandwiches purchased at the Salina, UT Burger King. Fortunately my wife had purchased only french fries and called 911 requesting an ambulance when I became deathy ill.
My wife and I were enroute from our home in Colorado Springs, CO to Las Vegas, NV, and have now just returned from said trip.
The emergency room doctor stated that I exhibited the classic synptoms of food poisoning, to include the time enroute from Salina to becoming seriously ill near Beaver, Ut.
I have the purchase receipt date stamped Thu Oct 22 01:45 PM T=01L I=L C=113
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Although it's been five years since you made this post, I feel I must reply. Google Maps says it takes 80 minutes to drive from Salina to Beaver. That is nowhere near enough time for food poisoning to develop.
This is a common misconception. Food poisoning usually takes six to twelve hours (or more) to show symptoms. People often eat dinner and then have symptoms a couple of hours later, and they blame their dinner. In fact, it was more likely their lunch or even breakfast. When you consume harmful bacteria, they first have to survive the trip through your stomach acid (no easy feat). Then they end up in your intestines, and there they have to reproduce enough times to make you sick. This is not a fast process...there's no way this could happen in under two hours.
The doctor in the ER in Beaver has shown why he works in an ER in Beaver...he doesn't know what he's talking about.
