MILAN, Illinois - A Milan woman says she was a customer inside
the McDonalds when she heard a worker trying to tell a manager she had
tested positive for Hepatitis A.
The woman says she was waiting in line to order at the McDonalds in Milan
on June 25th, when she heard employee Cheryl Schram approach a manager
behind the counter.
''She came out and she said Michelle, I was diagnosed with Hepatitis A'',
said the woman who doesn't want her name used. ''I was in there and I heard
her say that''.
The woman said she didn't think alot about it until after she saw an
interview with Cheryl Schram on News 8 Monday night.
''I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I saw Miss Schram on T.V. last night.
I told my dad that was the lady in McDonalds talking to the manager about
Hepaitits A''.
Schram tested positive at the McDonalds back on June 16th, and spent four
days in Trinity West Hospital.
She insists she told McDonalds she was infected on June 25th. The company
says it didn't know anything until July 13th, when it was notified by the
Rock Island County Health Department.
The customer says she knows what she heard that day. ''I swear on my
mothers grave''.
The lapse in reporting and who dropped the ball is under investigation.
