“I could have died in 15 minutes”- Edgar Obare shares a shocking experience at city restaurant.

The blogger Edgar Obare has shared a shocking experience he had a famous restaurant Art Caffe. Obare said that he nearly died. This happened on sartuday 5th when he went with his for lunch.
The blogger explained that he nearly in a span of 15 minutes after taking some seafood, he started to have diffculties in breathing.


“I finish my meal and suddenly I feel like I have a scratchy throat, then I am tearing up. Now I am struggling to breathe as my nose is blocked and throat is closing up, I have hives all over my neck and it’s itchy. I stand up to go downstairs to the counter to get some water, like I said service was horrible, no waiters in sight. The bar guy asked if I am okay, I said no and I asked for a bottle of water then went outside on the balcony for some fresh air for like 2 min. It didn’t help, I go to the bathroom and see my face in the mirror is all swollen and my eyes are bloodshot red,” he wrote.


After realizing that his condition was only getting worse and he needed urgent medical attention he went to his friend and they rushed out for help after he was offered no assistance at the restaurant.


The hospital located at Capital Center, was closed which made him to go a pharmacy where he was given an antihistamine drug to help with the allergies and was immediately advised to go to hospital. Luckily, he found Nairobi Hospital located on the same mall where doctors identified he was having an anaphylactic shock and received treatment, which says saved his life. The Youtuber said he spent two hours in the hospital and afterward, around 7pm, went back to the restaurant and inquired what happened to him.


“They apologized and said they also don’t know what happened, he saw me running out, they checked with the chef to see how the meal was prepared and asked if I had any food allergies, which I don’t to the best of my knowledge. I have seafood all the time. I asked how can this be resolved and how do I make an official complaint, he said this was beyond him at this point, he gave me the customer care email and took my number claiming someone else from the head office who wasn’t there will call me,” Obare revealed.


However, the blogger said it has been 24 hours, no feedback!


“I could have died in 15 min if I didn’t get myself medical attention, is the staff not trained on such situations? I was shocked they all just stared at me like a circus animal. No one ran after me or even tried to help me. Being a high-end restaurant I expected better,” he added.


As always his fans did not fail him. They went a head and attacked the restaurant online.
