5 already makes me suggest one calls ahead to the emergency room to let them know you are coming. So they can coordinate-doesn’t always happen-with the pharmacy department they have enough anti-venom if needed. And some situations require more amounts than others.
A bite on Saturday may mean they are out of Anti-venom until the next order arrival on Monday afternoon. However, if they know ahead of time they can arrange a special delivery.
Addition: If possible, take a pic of the snake with your cell phone....It will answer questions to those treating. Of course if you are one of those that think having a smart phone stupid and unnecessary, you can go pok a tok with the snake and bring it in.
