I was a bit surprised the hospital was telling this kid with a finger bite that death was not out of the question...I always thought if you got to a hospital within a couple of hours and it was "non-neck" or "non-torso" bite you'd almost always be ok. Anybody know if a rattlesnake bite is worse than a copperhead bite? (note: i just read copperhead venom is not usually as bad as a rattlesnake)
