Sounds like natural selection working as God intended to me.
This will not end well.
according to this article (ugh! it’s an al jazeera link), the hospital markup on that antivenin is about 10x.
$2K vials of antivenin are passed along to the patient at a cost of $20K.
we do have a health care problem in this country, but obamacare was not the solution. greed, litigation, bureaucracy, etc... those are the problems that need fixing. an uninsured person getting bitten by a rattlesnake and facing $150K in medical bills is facing personal financial ruin. unless they are independently wealthy, that’s a staggering price for the bureaucracy to charge somebody. of course, insurance companies never pay those high prices. those invoices are inflated and nonsensical, but many people don’t know that and don’t dispute them. if you’re paying out of pocket, the hospital is giving you a bill they hope your enough of a sucker to just pay in full.

And societal intervention has once again robbed the rest of the planet of a chance to properly reduce the gene pool of genes that should not be contained therein. They are once again propagating stupidity (beyond the cost, which will most likely not be paid for by the idiot himself, thereby no significant lesson will be learned) and reducing mankind’s long-term chances of survival.
Will Rogers said,”There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”
This guy hosed down the fence real good!
So, did he get the pic?
Who thinks it’s a good idea to pick up a rattlesnake and try to take a selfie with it? This beggars the limits of stupidity. Not too much different than Russian Roulette.
Hold my Crofab and watch this ping!
Thank goodness he had the Bronze Plan!
San Diego is a special place, full of special people.
It seems our government is remiss in not following Russia’s lead in this matter: the Russian government has been issuing public service announcements warning against endangering oneself when taking selfies.
