On MICU call right now just admitted a guy with a spitting cobra bite. Not only that but they were also here a fwe years ago with the same thing. Except at that time the patient wasn't the only one injured. The snake was fatally injured when said patient when Ozzie Osbourne on the snake in anger (and yes on X-ray you can see the snake's head). :eek:

That's crazy! What state are you from that people are getting bit by snakes repeatedly and then biting their heads off?

so maybe alice cooper didn't actually do it, but the story went around that he did bite a chicken's head off.

hahahahah nice one although he does have more teeth than I would expect he does have a lot of amateurish tattoos. Did I mention he was trying to feed the snake antibiotics too with one hand (lost part of the other to another snake bite). Apparently you can get a lot of money from collecting venom...not enough for me to risk my life.

Even though it wouldn't win I think this would be an awesome case to see at an ACP meeting especially with the previous positive snake sign on prior radiograph.
