This is one reason why I'm glad there's no rabies in Australia.
man that really sucks. i had to get rabies shots a couple years ago and it was not fun. for my second follow up shot i thought about skipping the wait in the ER and going to a pharmacy 40 minutes away that offered rabies vaccines, only to find out there’s a difference between pre-exposure and post-exposure shots and having to go to the ER anyway. if you end up also getting tired of the 3 hour waits in the ER and look for an alternative, i would strongly recommend making sure they offer post-exposure vaccines.
wtf, it is time that the US will have a universal insurance for these things, but on the other hand, it depends what the people vote for. over here you would get the shot, no charges...
Yeah, that's not a fun situation to be in. Are you fortunate enough to have sick time that you can use for this unplanned event?
I don’t know that I’d consider this “mildly” infuriating. Good on you for having any semblance of composure!
Thanks. I was panicked for a while, but the whole thing is absolutely absurd. Like, how many people get jumped by 3 young raccoons immediately after stepping outside.
this is soo funny and sad at the same time, i live in europe in a second world country, the economy is dogshit and i got bitten by a rabid dog, pretty nasty stuff and I was just minding my own business, when i turned a corner he jumped at me and got my leg, went to the hospital and paid for the anti tetanus shot and got my 7 or something anti rabic shots free
Damn Trash Pandas!
Also, rabies is no joke. Hope you get your shots soon!
I just got them. I swear to God if the raccoons come back...
You are now immune so fight them back! Lots of?biting and clawing until they accept you as their leader.
Oh fuck I can totally assert dominance once I have the full rabies shot series
Well the good thing is you got the shot. Still though, my mind wanders to that legendary comment on Reddit...
Stay safe, friend!
That's exactly where my mind went when everything went down. Gotta get 3 more shots in the series in order to be fully good to go. Better than dying horribly
