If the RN who assessed your friend described to the ER DR. that your friend was only having localized swelling / pain at the site of the bite, that really doesn't justify rushing him back before people who are suffering
if that was the way it happened, I would not be upset. NO ONE had looked at home when the diagnose was made. NO ONE!!!! When we stepped in to give the insurance info was the first time anyone there looked at him. Dr Champion had already told the desk lady to send him back to wait, copperhead bites are not fatal.

He did not take photos, but I have some from my 2nd copperhead bite.
