The food was then reportedly transported to a refrigerated trailer and thawed before being served.

A Canadian woman woke up on Sunday with a headache ... only to discover a surgical screw was poking out of her head.
Here's what happened ... 14 months ago, Stephanie Faure had brain surgery to remove some tumors, so docs put in a metal plate and a couple screws to keep her skull intact.
She told CBC News a screw "presumably just came loose over time and was making its way out. It kind of just felt like being scraped from the inside."

Naturally, Stephanie went to the ER at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ... and sat in the waiting room for five and a half hours! To make things worse -- when she finally got seen -- the doctor completely blew her off and told her it was "a cyst that looked like a screw."
Being so ignored was frustrating, Stephanie said ... "You could pretty visibly see what it was. And he was just telling me it wasn't what I was seeing."
She wanted the doc to let her get a second opinion from someone -- anyone -- else ... but was told to get lost instead.
So, removing the screw became a DIY project ... her boyfriend used tweezers and some tools to get it out at home.
Stephanie's planning to file a complaint, hoping it helps the doctor "realize that's not how you treat people."

When I last saw her in the recovery room as she prepared for her planned overnight stay, she was awake and in excellent condition with her husband by her side. Out of respect for Rachel and her family, and due to patient privacy laws, I will not comment further.”

After a promising start to getting the rehab he desperately needs, former 'Ned's Declassified' star Tylor Chase is back on the streets, TMZ has learned.
"Mighty Ducks" star Shaun Weiss tells TMZ ... Tylor was evaluated by a mental health crisis team after Jacob Harris -- the owner of Shipwreck Barbershop in Riverside, California, who has been a major advocate for Tylor -- called them. The crisis team placed Tylor in a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold, but they inexplicably released him, according to Shaun.
Shaun says, "They were supposed to hold him and then transport him to a detox facility that we had arranged. Instead, they let him out without contacting any of us."
According to Shaun, when Jacob found Tylor back on the street in Riverside late at night last week, the crisis team was called again. This time, they once again assessed Tylor to be a danger to himself -- Shaun tells us he was told Tylor was "smoking meth during the evaluation with no shoes or jacket in the freezing cold."
But Shaun says they still left him out on the street. Shaun also tells us ... despite some fans' well-meaning gestures to help Tylor out by giving him money on the street, that's been working against his recovery.

"Below Deck" star Fraser Olender says he was rushed to a hospital after suffering a heart attack ... and he's blaming it on his vape.
