Dear DR.. Steincrohn: 1
suppose few of your readers
will be interested in my prob
lem. But I'm going into snake
country and I'm scared al
ready. Any suggestions will
be welcome.-Mr. w.
MANY WHO have been
bitten by a snake will attest
to the fact that you don't
have to be in snake coun-
try" to be exposed to this
danger. 1t can happen any
where. One man, driving
along a highway, hit a snake.
In some miraculous manner,
it was thrown back at the
driver, bit him on the hand.
and then it twisted out Of the
car.
Fortunately, he had the
courage and good sense to
apply a handkerchief as a
tourniquet, make an incision
in the wound and suck out
poison. Within minutes he
drove to a nearby hospital.
They gave him antivenin and
he recovered.
One estimate is that at
least $500 people in the
United States suffer snake
bites annually. One out of 10
to about 3 out Of every 10
die. The greatest incidence of
bites is during early spring
or summer, when snakes
come out of Information.
Early morning and late
afternoon are favored times
for biting.
Now, the main aims Of
treatment of snake bite are
to prevent as much absorption
as possible of the snake VEN
ON: and to give something to
neutralize the poison already
absorbed.
For your peace of mind,
Mr.. W., have your doctor
teach you how to make an
inciSioA mot actually, but to
go through the motions and
equip you with a suitable
knife) - also, how to apply
suction to the wound
whether by mouth or instru-
ment0 - and how to use a
tourniquet. Also-and this is
most important - put in a
supply of polyvalent anti
venin. This is a horse serum
antitoxin which remains sta
BILE land usefuD for at least
five years when kept at room
temperature. Your doctor
will tell you how to admins
ter it, and how many am
poules you will need to neu-
tralize the snake bite. OF
course, II there is time. it's
best to get to a hospital for
treatment.
Knowing these basic facts,
Mr.. W.. I think you will enter
your snake country" with
greater confidence and less
fear-and probably leave I'M
bitten, anyway.
y
For Mr.. L.: I feel that the
patient comes first and the
doctors feelings second where
health and life are at stake.
You want a consultation to
make sure everything is be-
ing done for your wife, but
you don't want to hurt your
family doctors feelings. Ask
him. Chances are that your
doctor will say: Fine. Let's
call in DR.. x. If nothing
else, he'll set your mind at
ease"
However, If your family
doctor is that rare bird whose
sensibilities are hurt because
you ask for another opinion
its time you find it out, so
you can go shopping for a
more up-to-date and under
standing medical adviser.

words
Don't drift!
Set your goal now! And
stick to it! Don't float from

When I went off to college,
Erik was reading meters for
