Snake Bite in Costa Rica
While studying in Costa Rica, a young man was bitten by a poisonous viper. He was taken to a nearby clinic for antivenom and MEDEX was contacted for assistance. Fortunately, the man's vital signs were normal, but he was in terrible pain. MEDEX Physician Advisors consulted with the patient and the treating physician. The man wanted to travel home, but MEDEX physicians realized the risks involved in traveling so soon. After two more days, it was determined that the man could return home. MEDEX worked with the airlines to change the man's plane tickets so he could return home early.
