B747 RELIEF SO GOT SEVERE FOOD POISONING FROM A COMPANY PROVIDED CREW MEAL.

Narrative

CREW ILLNESS DUE TO SUSPECTED FOOD POISONING. AFTER BLOCKING INTO XYZ AT XA12Z; ONE OF THE AUGMENTED CREW MEMBERS INFORMED ME THAT THE AUGMENTED FE (ON REST) HAD BECOME VERY ILL. I IMMEDIATELY TALKED TO FE TO FIND THAT HE HAD SEVERE ABDOMINAL PAIN; WAS FREQUENTLY VOMITING AND THAT THE ILLNESS CAME ON SUDDENLY AFTER OUR ARR IN XYZ. FURTHER; HE HAD A HEADACHE; EXTREME NAUSEA; CHILLS AND WAS VERY WEAK. HE FURTHER STATED HE DID NOT FEEL HE COULD CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN HIS CONDITION IN WHICH I FULLY AGREED. HIS CONDITION DID NOT APPEAR PERILOUS OR REQUIRE AN EMER RESPONSE; HOWEVER; I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DUTY MGR AND ESTABLISHED A CONFERENCE CALL BTWN FE; AN INFLT MEDICAL SVC PHYSICIAN AND THE DUTY MGR WHILE I ARRANGED TO GET MEDICAL HELP LOCALLY FOR FE THROUGH THE STATION REPRESENTATIVE. ON THE INITIAL LEG OF THE TRIP; FE HAD CONSUMED A MEAL FROM THE ZZZ1 UPLOADED CATERING. HE WAS THE ONLY CREW MEMBER TO CONSUME A MEAL WITH SAUSAGE ON THE BREAKFAST ENTREE. ASIDE FROM THIS; SIMILAR ITEMS HAD BEEN CONSUMED BY ALL THE OTHER OPERATING CREW (EGGS; FRUIT; ETC). THE ENTIRE CREW ALSO SHARED COMMON ITEMS FROM THE SUBSEQUENT UPLOADED CATERING WITH NO MAL-EFFECTS. SYMPTOMS FROM SEVERE FOOD POISONING USUALLY TAKE HRS (APPROX 10-12) TO MANIFEST THEMSELVES. AFTER TALKING WITH THE INFLT MEDICAL SVC PHYSICIAN AND DUTY MGR; WE ESTABLISHED THAT FE WOULD BE TAKEN TO A HOTEL TO GET MEDICAL ATTN AND REST. THE LCL STATION REPRESENTATIVE ARRANGED A HOTEL ROOM AND PHYSICIAN'S HOUSE VISIT FOR HIM. I ASKED THE CREW TRACKER TO ASSIST HIM IN CONTACTING HIS SPOUSE AFTER HE REACHED THE HOTEL SO HE COULD ADVISE THAT HE WOULD BE IN GOOD CARE.
