Maybe when I have more patience I'll go back through this thread and address all the misconceptions stated so far but, frankly, I can't be bothered at the moment. The one thing I can't let pass is the fact that killing the snake does NO good whatsoever except potentially give us two patients to deal with.
I am a doctor who has specialised in Intensive Care so I think this means I can speak with some authority on the topic so, if anyone reads this thread and are not sure what to do - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO KILL THE SNAKE. Apply appropriate first aid measures and call an ambulance.
Honestly, I could write pages on the idiots who have been bitten trying to catch/kill the snake but even worse are those who bring in a live snake then have it escape in the hospital putting countless people at risk.
Let me know if I haven't made myself clear so I can try to explain it clearer if necessary.
