My dog is fine, though, which is the most important thing to me. The raccoons scratched my arm kinda bad and my legs are covered in scratches. My doctor can't be sure if the raccoons had saliva on their claws, and wants me to get rabies shots just in case. She sent me to an ER because she can't get the shots in our area.

I've been at the hospital for 3 hours and haven't been seen.

It's after my bedtime and I have to wake up at 5am for work...

I'm not having a good time.

Been there. Happened to me in grad school but I woke up to a bat on my leg. Thing with bats ks you can't tell if they bit you because their teeth leave little baby pinpricks that look like damn near everything else that bites, including mosquitoes.

I got a bill for $13,000. Basically 1000 for every shot to the ass they gave me. I had to pay it from my student loans. Yay America.

I sung it a bunch of times to make sure it felt right.

I would have graduated, got a job overseas, and just left the debt in America.

Heck, you can take all these $$$, fly to a decent country visa-free, get a rabies shot and a lavish vacation. Why TF Americans don't ddo that is beyond me.

If you capture the bat, they can test the bat for rabies instead of treating you.

[-] Matt_Shatt@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

And leave that poor bat with $13,000 of medical debt!?

[-] Thebazilly@pathfinder.social 4 points 1 year ago

The rabies test requires decapitation, so don't worry, the debt went to the bat's widow.
