Baby with fatal snakebite saved by doctors
On 1 November 2017, an old lady took her grandson to the Seng Ranong Provincial Hospital with a potentially fatal snakebite on his arm. The grandmother is looking after the child while the parents are away working, and she is very poor. However, the doctors and the medical team at the hospital worked hard to save the child's life and they succeeded. The medical costs were paid by a local charity, with much tearful thanks from the old lady.

Re: Baby with fatal snakebite saved by doctors
Maybe cobra bite, they come into houses looking for rats etc, end up under the blanket with so many sleeping on the floor and bite the baby.
Arm can end up like that in a day or so, less if ignorant people try to use home-remedies/traditional cures
Necrosis can take years to heal

People should thank those who correct those who correct them grammatically. It's a free tip so one doesn't make the same mistake again.Ronny wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 6:39 pmGreat observation, Richard.
