@JavierGilmore Oh gosh I’m so sorry that happened to you!I had no idea how bad they could get - and I went to the doc within 12 hours of the bite. Insane. And yes our healthcare and insurance systems are out of control!
Sharing this b/c it’s super important.
A few weeks ago, I was hospitalized for 4 1/2 days after being bitten by a friends’ cat (yeah, it sounds weird to me too - freak accident)
It wasn’t great. Went septic within 16 hrs after the bite and was prepped for surgery for 2 days 1/
Adding that I still love the kitty! I was watching him for a friend and as I was leaving he was getting final treats and scritches. My phone went off next to him…which scared the bejesus out of him (understandably so). Total freak accident. He’s still the very best boy 🥰 end2/
When I had pneumonia in the Netherlands I paid 5 euros for treatment and meds. That’s it. This is criminal. $31k for a cat bite. Not including urgent care or follow up. We have to do better - peoples’ lives and livelihoods depend on it. Oh, and here’s my adorable husband 😍 end/
I’m in a few online groups for common interests, like animal rescue and travel. Right now they’re filled with posts of families willing to host American women looking to leave the country b/c of #RoeVWade.
I can’t believe this is real life. The entire world is horrified.
