I remember quite a few years ago, a boy in Mexico survived rabies. If I recall correctly they put him in an oxygen chamber.

Impressive. Wonder how she’d do if bitten by a liberal.

Interesting.. I never thought about letting the anti-bodies catching up.

Doc thinking “outside the box”..

Hope the girl is doing well now ;^)

...who survived rabies thanks to an innovative and desperate treatment tried out on her by Dr. Rodney Willougby.

And, I would think, the steady, guiding hand of Almighty God.

I don’t think rabies survival is all that uncommon any more due to the advanced medical treatments available now a days.......

I found Willougby...

This reminds me when my brother was bitten on the head by a bat that swooped down at night after a baseball game. My parents took him to the doctor, but the doctor said “don’t worry about it, bats don’t get rabies”. Well, it seems they do. Luckily this one didn’t, though.
