I wonder why this kid was not administered the RPEP.
There has never been a recovery without it (to my knowledge).
I was thinking the same thing.
It reads as though Dad only used the google treatment and didn’t take his son to immediate medical care.
If you tell a 6 year old “don’t do this,” what do you expect him to do?
Poor family.
The little boy was upset at the idea of getting shots, so the parents decided it wasn't necessary.
I'm serious.
From another article, it seems that the dad didn’t take the kid in for treatment until he had symptoms.
Earlier article said child cried about getting shots so father didn’t take him to the doctor when it happened. The article said the Milwaukee Protocol has been used successfully on 18 people worldwide and 2 were teens.
“I wonder why this kid was not administered the RPEP.”
Read the article: “When Ryker complained of numb fingers and a headache a week later,”
Just stupid and negligent.
Because the father is a f***ing idiot who thought soap and water would combat a rabid animal bite.
There has never been a recovery without it (to my knowledge).
There has been at least one recovery, but that might almost be a miracle. If there is any chance of rabies exposure the post exposure shot series is essential.
He didn't want shots so his buddy-dad (not a parent-dad) didn't seek them, figuring soap and water would suffice...
It doesn’t work once the victim begoms symptomatic. The boy was symptomatic before the family took him to the clinic.
