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.
die in a hospital? In this economy? No thank you, I’d rather die at home.
A coworker of mine says, “If I’m meant to be in a hospital, I’ll wake up there.”
“Or die at home from a curable illness.”
If you get rabies, you might as well elect to not be hospitalized. What’s the point of trying to stretch out your life for 2 or 3 more days of agony?
Don’t be silly, you can’t afford to die there either.
Seriously, a couple years ago I asked an ER doctor to just let me die. I have insurance but the issue was air medevacc.
It’s bankruptcy expensive.
Did they let you die?
He hasn’t answered yet, that’s not a good sign.
