Last time I went to the ER, I had to wait almost two hours to be seen. All the ER rooms were full. If it would have been a snake bite, that might have been to long.
With the ER being free here in the states, people free load on it for everything from the common cold to what ever.
Shit, they even made a lady with chest pains wait.
Posting on GFY, may not have been dumb. Often times there is a wealth of IQ on line. Somebody might have looked at the pics and made a good guess on what it was. KRL was quick to hit the web on snakes on FL. It only took a minute or two to check with the GFY bank of knowledge.
Hope all is well by now. Waiting for the

on return from the hospital.
