Jes' something to thonk about for those focused on MD/GP advice (s)
on venom reactions. As with snakes also it is usual to find advice from
the general publc mirrors that medicos have gleaned from teachings,
not from actual experience on the ground.
In Aussie we have a group known as "Allied Professionals".
Without recounting anecdotes of some scale I do say it is this group advice
should be taken from as it works. It works because these people have
frontline experience and cannot bury their mistakes... they get fired and cannot
usually work again.
One of these effectively saved my Life with her attention to detail not
one GP overlooked/dismissed but several, and a number of those
being "specialists" in the cardiac field.
So before absorbing guggle.com and accepting a prescription drug
from the GP, get seen by a clinician... it may save you a lot of worry, and money.
