The bartender ran out of sugar Saturday night at Doc's
Grille downtown and asked a dishwasher that speaks mainly
Spanish for more sugar. The employee gave the bartender a
containing a white substance that looked like sugar, but it
was the cleaner instead, restaurant owner Doug Goolsby said.
"I hate that anybody gets hospitalized at your place of
business. Mistakes happen, and it's regrettable," said
Goolsby, who added the business has moved the cleaner to
basement.
Rita Hammond, 42, of Columbia, remained at Palmetto Health
Richland on Monday, where the hospital listed her in good
condition.
Her sister, Sandy Couillard, 43, of Columbia, was discharged
from the hospital Sunday.
Couillard said her sister spit up blood after her tongue
started began to peel after taking a sip of her second peach
martini.
"I woke up this morning with blood on my pillow," Couillard
said Monday. "I have no taste at all."
Goolsby said the bartender, who he wouldn't identify, started
crying and had to go home after she was told what happened.
Columbia police and state health officials continue to
investigate the incident, although they say it appears to be
an accident.
