My brother was removing the air conditioners from his churches office windows and there was a bat hanging under on of them that he inadvertently grabbed. It bit him but being the gentle soul he is he picked it up in a dust pan and turned it loose. No good deed goes unpunished so when he went to his doctor you guessed it he had to have rabies shots. As if that wasn’t bad enough he was floored when he got the bill. 7 shots cost $32,000.00. After insurance he had to pay $3,200.00 out of pocket. Sometimes it just doesn’t pay. Life lesson, if an animal bites you, kill it or cage it until it can be sorted out whether the critter carries rabies or not.
Crazy prices. I have the rabies vaccine, was about 250 euros. Then I only have to have two injections instead of 4 and no need for the serum if bitten. The serum's availability in a lot of countries is the problem.
USA has the best health care in the world if you can afford it.
That is a big 'if'. USA is leading in science and technology and is certainly number 1 in that sense. Other areas is lacking. But when enough money the sky is the limit for sure.
