My son left for Albany NY Sunday to work with a client and seems to have contracted some food poisoning somewhere along the line, either at a Burger King or a dinner cooked by a colleague where they are staying. Although I doubt the dinner, it was last night, and food poisoning and symptoms would not occur the same night after eating.
I am in healthcare but need a little reassurance and assistance from my colleagues here. He has shivering, diahrrea and vomitting and has lost a l/2 day of work down there. He is fit and healthy and has never been this sick before, it precludes going into a hospital because I can't imagine the cost and OHIP won't cover this in the states (no remarks about this please!).
I just found this out through contacting in e mail (was wondering why he was slow saying hello!).
I advised start drinking plenty of water (the shivering has stopped and that is a good sign). He will go into a pharmacy tomorrow if feeling better.
Any comments from the wonderful people here would be great and thanks\
