You would have thought a vet would know to immerse his arm in hot water.Or that the ER would know to treat by hot water immersion. Probably a good thing he got rid of the fish, these beautiful creatures deserve intelligent owners.

Quote:
In reality, you can't expect local doctors/nurses to know how to treat the venom of a tropical marine animal. Especially since it's not something they're likely to encounter, if this was Fiji or Austrialia... But the vet had a reaction to the sting. Not dissimilar to a reaction to a bee/wasp sting. The story actually contains misleading information, the sting isn't deadly (unless you have a reaction to it), and won't cause long term damage. Speaking from experience, burns like hell. And you spend an awful lot of time explaining to clinic/er staff that all you want them to do is make sure none of the spine is left in the wound, and ensuring it's properly cleaned.
