It's common to go to a restaurant to have a bad stomach, but can you imagine eating a deadly poison at a restaurant and almost losing your life?!
There is such a hapless woman on the golden coast.
While Amanda Merrifield was eating at a restaurant on Gold Coast, the owner of the restaurant handed her the powerful industrial detergent as vinegar, causing Amanda to lock up a ghost door and, while saving a life, suffered severe damage to the esophagus and stomach. So that they were all removed!
Recently, Amanda took the restaurant owner to court, demanding A $5 million in compensation.
It started in 2013 when, Amanda Merrifield started burping at a gold coast restaurant.
So she asked her boss for vinegar and wanted to restrain her hiccups. A little while later, the boss gave her a tablespoon of vinegar,
Amanda didn't even think about it. She picked it up and poured it down, and Amanda fell to the ground in pain and tumbled with pain, she said, feeling her heart was about to burst.
It turned out that the restaurant chef poured the industrial detergent used to clean the oven into a bottle that was as long as the vinegar bottle.
And the boss didn't know, so he mistook the detergent for vinegar and gave it to Amanda..
Yes, foreigners often drink vinegar is transparent, like water, not our common black vinegar, so it is easy to confuse.
Amanda was then rushed to the hospital. Doctors at the time said it was too serious to know if Amanda would survive.
Fortunately, Amanda is out of danger, but her pain is not over.
The digestive tract was severely burned by the industrial detergent, after which she underwent 83 operations! Finally, the esophagus and stomach were removed!
Without esophagus and stomach means indigestible food, Amanda's life becomes endless pain and suffering.
Although Amanda was very angry after the incident, although the police intervened, they believed that the incident was an accident, so no one was charged with responsibility for the matter, and the health department of the local council only issued a page-by-page report after the investigation. At the end of the day, the restaurant just had to be labeled after being warned..
"the restaurant owner has never been fined, the restaurant has never been closed, and he continues to do business as usual," Amanda said.
Although the restaurant owner does have insurance, Amanda said she didn't receive any insurance money from the restaurant until the television station reported her story four years ago.
This result is probably hard to accept for anyone, after all, their own life because of an oversight of the restaurant and completely changed!
"I'm not really alive at all," Amanda said.
In recent days, Amanda and her lawyer are seeking further legal action in the hope that the restaurant will pay A $5 million "to improve her life."
Amanda also said restaurant owners had never even apologized to her for all these years.
The restaurant owner said he had apologized solemnly.
The restaurant has now been resold.
