Bummer :-/






Probably would have been better to go to a hospital/Dr and get checked out
rather than self diagnose and self medicate.... but that's just me.







Exactly how long did you have it on warm??

And what was in the soup that made 'critters' grow? Meat?

Speaking as someone who used to have the constitution of a mongrel dog, and
could eat pizza that had been left out for 48hrs with no problems...... soup
that was 'hot' from a crockpot made you sick???

Might I suggest you look at whatever ingredients you put in it?






And the company will say, "Jeez, you must be one of the 0.0001% of the
population that have experienced a problem with this. Our suggestion to you
would be to not use the warm setting if you are so susceptible to illness."

I've never seen a 'warm' setting on a crockpot. Seen Auto, seen High, seen
Low.... no Warm though.

Maybe the company is foreign owned and is trying to kill off all you
'Merikans?

Gosh, I learned right here on this group that *everybody* in the US has
health care. The ER won't turn anyone away for lack of money or an
insurance plan.

The medically indigent don't care. They throw ER bills in the trash.

The hospitals love it too, because they get to pass the costs on
to someone else. It's a win-win except for the taxpayers who would
be saving money by the bucketloads if everyone were entitled to
primary care.

And people can avail themselves of COBRA coverage when they leave

And she could have gone to a doc-in-the-box instead of an ER, as it is a
suitable "go between" if one doesn't have a doctor yet doesn't really
need an EMERGENCY room.

I learnt that one a looooong time ago. Silly me decided that I didn't need
travel insurance.... got slammed into the side of a plane at 14,000' by 5
bodies and ended up in hospital for about 4 days.


I *never* go anywhere without travel insurance now.
I even take it out if I'm flying interstate.

There are more reasonable places to receive care for runny tummy than
the ER. A doc/nurse-in-the-box acute care center or ones own doctor
would be far cheaper and more appropriate.

I don't think all hospitals will treat people if they can't pay. I know
some will. But I think if it is not a life threatening emergency, some will
tell you to go to another hospital. At least this used to be the case some
years ago. I can't say for sure now.

I do know that if you have no money and no job, you have to jump through a
lot of hoops and fill out a ton of paperwork to get treatment. And then if
a follow-up is needed, more hoops and more paperwork.

What's a doc-in-the-box? We have walk-in clinics around here staffed
with nurses and PAs, excellent inexpensive medical care for run of the
mill treatment and even certain emergencies... and if they can't
handle it they'll get you to the closest ER real fast.

That's all well and good until you feel the need to buy a bale of hay for
dinner, or have to stop at every pole/post and cock your leg to have a
pee!!

Yup, that's what I commonly refer to as a "Doc-in-the-box"... acute care
clinics run by doctors or midlevel providers for those times when your
can't get into your own doctor's office, or need minor lacs and such
sutured up, or the problem doesn't warrant an expensive visit to an
Emergency room.

yes, you will.

We have two hospitals here in Harlingen, TX. One of them has a sign just
inside the outer doors that says something on the order of if you can't
pay, go to the other hospital as we won't care for you here.

I'm not kidding. It's a real problem in border areas.

It's only ER's that are required to treat the medically indigent
under the above act.

There are other laws that force counties to in most cases treat
the medically indigent, but only after paperwork and other jumping
through hoops, the result being the medically indigent get a
disproportionate amount of their care from ER's.

(Above is U.S. Centric.)
