When I kept up my EMT cert, one of the requirements was a day as an assistant at an ER. For my first time, we had a rattlesnake bite. It was fascinating. No one on staff had dealt with one before. We watched the swelling progress, marking it with a pen every 15 mins. We found the antitoxin and everyone read it several times to make sure they were using it correctly. It worked fine.
The patient was bitten in a field in San Jose. It was a baby, so no rattles, but she was smart and recognized the markers. She knew right away. Baby rattlers can be more difficult because they don't regulate how much poison they inject.
