TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Severe tiger snake envenomation in a wilderness environment JO - Medical journal of Australia A1 - Nocera, A. A1 - Gallagher, J. A1 - White, J. SP - 69 EP - 71 VL - 168 IS - 2 N2 - A 44-year old bushwalker was envenomed in an isolated area late in the afternoon, and a succession of difficulties with his rescue resulted in his not reaching hospital until nearly 24 hours later. This case highlights the problems of prolonged delays before treatment for envenomation, and points to the advantages of physician-staffed emergency helicopter services carrying snake antivenoms into the field.
