Family sues hospital over snakebite death in church service

9 11 2007

[Lexington-Herald Leader]

The family of a woman bitten by a rattlesnake during a church service in southern Kentucky is suing a hospital and several of its employees, accusing them of ridiculing her religious beliefs rather than providing proper care.

Read about it here.

[From me]

Sad is the only word I know to describe this tragedy.  If the hospital staff did laugh and ridicule this woman rather than provider her with excellent care then they should be sued.   I think snake handling is crazy but I would try to help anyone in need despite their wacky religious views.  Tragic!

What do you think?
