There is not a credible doctor alive that would let their patient blow off the rest of the series, especially when the person sustained a bite from an unknown dog that was NOT caught! And time is of the essence....you cant just wait 6-10 days and then decide well maybe you will....or maybe you wont....there is an incubation period for rabies....in other words, if that dog that bit you does have rabies (and I would not think it did, but I would NOT take that gamble, as rabies is FATAL in 94% of the cases in humans) I am concerned you did not get the first TWO shots they give after the initial exposure, and because of you not wanting to disrupt or "ruin" your Christmas, you wont continue the series on the days they are to be given....they are each given on a specific day, until the series is completed! This is VERY IMPORTANT for you to complete this and I am not getting the feeling YOU realize the seriousness of this for YOU!!! And now you wont be back on until after Christmas???????? |
She said she is going to follow up with her doctor...surely he/she will see that she gets the rest of those injections? I don't think they need to be given immediately??? She does definitely need to find out! I would hope the ER told her this when they gave her the first one. Yikes!
