The influencer claimed that the hospital staff mishandled his treatment, alleging that they left the IV drip valve open and blood was spilling everywhere.
A British influencer recently found himself in a troubling situation during his trip to India. Taking to Instagram, influencer Sam Pepper shared that he was hospitalised with food poisoning after allegedly drinking bhang. While he initially enjoyed the experience, he revealed that things became worse after he suffered a high fever and severe stomach infection, which forced him to postpone his India tour and get immediate medical attention. The influencer also claimed that the hospital staff mishandled his treatment, alleging that they left the IV drip valve open and blood was spilling everywhere.
"I did the worst thing you could do in India and I ended up in the hospital. The food that you should never ever touch and I tried myself some of that finger milk (bhang). This guy's been on the street for over 17 years making this. The guy making the drink was a holy man, so I had a bit of a trust in him but I probably shouldn't have. After drinking this milk, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. I continued on with my day like nothing happened, but it all changed that night," Mr Pepper said in the video.
"I woke up at 7 PM, violently vomiting, I couldn't control anything inside me. At 7 am in the morning it finally stopped, I felt relieved but had a crazy fever, later that evening the fever got way too much for me. I had to call in a doctor. This doctor had a very nice briefcase so I trusted everything he said and I took the medicine he gave me, but the medicine kicked the bacteria into overdrive inside my stomach and next thing I know instead of coming out of my mouth it was coming out the other end," Sam Pepper added.
