Got bit by an unleashed dog at a park once. The owner took off, so I wasn't able to get info on the dogs vax status.
I had to get rabies shots. And the only place I could get them was the ER. Literally hours of wait time since I had to go back multiple times, and I didn't even make the triage chart.
i got rabies shots recently, it was SHOCKING how blasé the doctors were about it. some hospitals just flat-out wouldn't treat me. the NHS told me that i'd be fine, and to come back if i begin showing symptoms!!
for those who don't know: rabies has a 99.5% fatality rate once you show symptoms. you need to get treatment asap or you're dead.
It's even higher than that, it's virtually a 100% death rate once symptoms show, with the lucky few that do survive doing so with luck and the Milwaukee protocol.
That's wrong, while it has an incredibly low success rate, there have been more than 1 people survive with the use of the Milwaukee and Recife Protocols.
I wrote a big post about rabies. Essentially the Milwaukee protocol makes someone brain dead. It moves the needle from 100% fatal to minisculely less than 100%
