You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: dd Subject: RE: "Snake handler" preacher dies....of snake bite Body: Pretty crazy. The fact that he chose to wait for his savior to heal him rather than getting standard medical treatment, which would almost certainly have saved his life, is both frightening and sort of impressive. Frightening in that a life gets cut short because of this blind faith in an old book, impressive in that he apparently truly believed what he said (or, maybe he was suicidal, who knows). I'm used to seeing people make various terrible decisions in the hospital-- drink themselves to oblivion, keep smoking as their leg rots off from vascular disease, refuse treatments that have a high probability of working, etc. I've always explained to the med students and residents that grown ups get to make as many bad decisions as they want, all we can do is give them facts and advice. Lots of strange people in the world... Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
