Don’t bring these to the ER

The snake that bit you, things you coughed up, things you passed in your stool.

Just a few examples of what you can safely leave at home.

And here, In the Indian hinterlands, Almost EVERY snakebite patient brings the snake along (a dead one, thankfully).Its so common that we are taught to identify poisonous snakes by their colors+scales+shapes and this knowledge guides us in initiating the treatment. ( whether ASV is required or not!!).I remember my seniors in the ER reprimanding the rural folks for not bringing the Snake along.
