Food poisoning
About 15 colleagues including me got food poisoning last week.
The feeling of vomiting and high fever kept for three days.
My body hurt because of the fever and it left me unable to sleep.
Which virus it was and which food got poisoned has yet to be revealed, and we will never know it.
Our manager stopped the Health Officers investigating this incident as he though it was troublesome.
I think his behaviour wasn't appropriate.
First of all, the suspected restaurant should be ordered business suspended, or they will serve another poisoned food.
Second, we have right to know which virus we were infected with.
Finally, some people cost over $500 to see doctor and be hospitalized for inspection, and these cost should be reimbursed.

Hello Anna,
残念。I hope you are OK!
I also hope my corrections were of some help.
Some NOTES:
1) "Vomiting" is something you do, while "nausea" is the feeling you have when you have an upset stomach, or are about to vomit.
2) "Spend" and "cost" can be tricky to use. Whenever you buy something, you are spending money. Hoe much money you spend depends on the cost of the item. (Or in this case, the cost of the doctor and the visit to the hospital). I changed your sentence to use the past tense of "spend", like this:
Finally, some people spent over $500 to see doctor and be hospitalized for inspection, and these costs should be reimbursed.
But it could also be said in other ways:
Finally, some people incurred a cost of over $500 to see doctor and be hospitalized for inspection, and these costs should be reimbursed.
or:
Finally, some people spent over $500 to see doctor and be hospitalized for inspection, and these expenditures should be reimbursed.
3) I also changed the word "cost" to the plural, because you mentioned two costs: the cost of the doctor and the cost to be hospitalized for inspection. Otherwise, the sentence would look like this:
Finally, some people spent over $500 to see doctor, and this cost should be reimbursed.
4) "Behaviour" is a British spelling. In the US, we would spell it "behavior". There are several words like this, for example color is spelled "colour" in Great Britain.
