    the flight,and a Gecko falls off the ceiling,guess

    fighting with other one,as don't usually fall,he

    see's it goes into panic mode,on the phone to

    the front desk, screaming a Crocodile has just

    fallen on the bed,get someone up here quick.

    What you are seeing is called a fasciotomy, it is used to relieve pressure that is causing vascular restriction to the degree that it is putting a limb at risk of being lost, it is very much a last resort to save a limb from amputation.  However, this procedure is not normally recommended for snake bites as studies have suggested that it may worsen necrosis.  Presumably they have been trying anti-venom and this has been unsuccessful and have resorted to this in attempt to save the lady's arm.

    Also not knowing what kind of snake it was is a great problem,

    I believe a Cobra,and a Viper have different venom's,that act in

    different ways.

  3. My Wifes,friends mother was weeding her garden,and was bitten

    on the finger by a venomous snake,she never seen the snake,but

    must have been Cobra or maybe a Viper,she drove herself to hospital

    on her motorbike, lucky to be alive i think but not out of the woods

    yet,the surgery looks a bit invasive for a snake bite,they are leaving

    the wounds open for now ?,infection could be an issue i think.
