Friend of mine had a lot of GERD problems prior to this event. He smoked a turkey and was eating some and realized parts of it had not cooked completely. So he decided to make himself throw up. In the process he ruptured his esophagus. He felt a sharp pain but lay down, felt worse and worse, made it to the ER and was life flighted 200 miles and spent 2 weeks in a medically induced coma due to peritonitis from stomach contents leaking all over his insides. Has some impressive scars from surgery and drains. He might have been better off with the salmonella.
Man! That’s horrible! I did nothing but write a funny DCUM post and then kinda forget about it. Nothing happened. On a related note, I just watched an old Jacques Pepin show- where he cooks with his daughter? - and he was making some really gross seeming chicken dish and they both totally touch the raw chicken and then touch other things. Do you guys think our focus on salmonella is.. new? A factor of our hyper clean houses nowadays (mine not included haha)? Were your parents back in the day as careful as we all are now? Just curious.
