On live Tv last night - I dunno if this wa repeat - but he got bite by a 30 foot rattle snake!!!
rushed to the hospital on live tv and all!
I kind thought this was joke, b/c his two other guest stars were from Grey anatomy and some other doctor show!
BTW he's ok! |

Right...where to start...
1st of all, that snake was more like 7 feet rather that 30. Rattlers can push 12 feet depending on species and sex (females are larger) but no where near 30. I've seen larger rattlers than that guy so i dunno why he said its a big one...
It looked staged as no dick head would be sat down saying he's scared then stand up and point at the snake asking whats the vibrating tail mean because trust me...you know!...even if you know nothing about snakes the noise of the rattle makes you break out in a cold sweat its weird.
Usually with snake bites (depending on if the snake has haemotoxic or neurotoxic venom - rattlers are haemotoxic) you dont feel anything, it doesn't burn or sting for atleast 10 minutes because it takes that long for the venom to start destroying muscle tissues around the bite. The only pain you will feel is from the 2 puncture holes of the bite which geneally feels like you've had an injection from the doctors.
The paramedics should have lifted him to stop his body from moving therefore pumping blood and vemon around quicker and his hand should have being held as high as possible and a tourqinet put on.
I dunno if they used an Epi-pen or not but they should have done that too.
Finally, if this was real...those snake handlers had no clue what they were doing! There was no back up man with a snake hook incase the one handler got bit and went down. You should never be sat down when handling venemous snakes because they strike lightning fast as seen in the video. I know from handling snakes professionally that they need respect...i say no respect or proffesionalism in this video. |
