Do you or any of your colleagues know of anyone from any developing country with snakebite related injury who might benefit from any form of care I can help to coordinate? For example, we brought a 2-year-old with a deep tissue injury from a spitting cobra bite from Swaziland to the US for grafting, physical therapy, etc. I have immediate access to many resources and want to help anyone who for any reason has not been able to get the care they need.

With best wishes,
Sean

Dr Bush,
While I don't have an answer to your question, I do have a question for you. I have been trying to reach you.
I am currently preparing to teach a snake ID and snakebite tx course for a county fire department. I have in the past spoke with you a couple of years back and obtained a VHS copy of your teaching video. This video was muffled and I was wondering if I could get a new copy of this. Do you have it available on CD or DVD. I really appreciate the work you have done along with the education you have given to the public, I would like to help the Paramedics in the field tobe better pepared. Thanks, Lt. Jeff Davis, jeff.davis@co.clayton.ga.us
