An elderly
lady was bitten by a dog when she went to India for holiday. This lady went to
the doctor because she was feeling ill shortly after returning from her
holiday. The doctor immediately sent her to hospital to get tested. These test showed that the lady had
contracted rabies and needed a shot. She was sent to another hospital where she
was taking in to the isolation ward were she was treated. Unfortunately she
died over the weekend, now there is a second brit who is also dyeing of rabies.
I can’t believe
this really happened, in this day and age with all our technical and medical
research. But I this story I also can’t believe this lady, why didn’t she go to
hospital immediately in India? Why wait until you get back and feel ill. Especially
in India this lady should have known that she was at risk for something. What
is weird to me, is that there is another brit who contracted this. Did this
person also did not go to hospital immediately or is there something that is
wrong this the medication?
