At least they didn't put any negative spin on it, and just told it like it is.

I don't know Earl personally, but I have friends that do. I've never heard anything but positive accolades for the man, and his decades of experience really speak for themselves. I wish him a very speedy recovery...B. parviocula is not a snake anyone wants to get nailed by, if for nothing else that bites on humans are virtually non-existant and no one is really sure how effective SAVP is on treating them.

It would have been terrific if they had used words other than attacked. Other than that I think that they did a fairly decent job with portraying the event. Quick recovery Dr. Turner.

WOAI had a followup with an interview with Ed Turner with his bandaged hand. I don't know if the video links here, but here's the story -
