Man brings live snake to hospital after being bitten
A 48-year-old drunk house painter caused a flutter at the casualty ward of the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital on Thursday night by a carrying a live cobra in a bag that bit him while consuming alcohol with his friend. Soundarajan, 48, was bitten by a snake while drinking liquor and smoking marijuana with a friend at Kallimadai, Singanallur. Since it was dark and anticipating that the doctor would ask him about the snake that bit him, Soundarajan caught the snake and put it in a bag. Soundarajan and his friend reached the casualty ward of CMCH immediately.
While narrating the incident to a duty doctor, the reptile slipped out of the bag. Staff members and doctors were shocked when they saw the snake slithering slowly in the ward.
As it was too late in the night to call a snake catcher, the staff members killed the snake.
