A Maryland woman treated for a snake bite received another shocker: a $55,000 medical bill.
Jules Weiss had stopped to take a photo at an overlook along the George
Washington Parkway. On the way back to her car, she felt something bite
her.
"It felt just like a bee sting," Weiss told local station NBC4. "There were two fang marks with liquid coming out."
The former emergency medical technician had suffered a copperhead snake
bite. Within an hour, she said, her foot turned “grayish” and started
to swell.
She went to Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Md., where
she received three IV bags of antivenom over 18 hours. Then, the scary
part: a whopping $55,000 bill for treatment.
