In a rare incident in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi, a 21-year-old man survived a venomous snake bite after a two-hour bedside vigil involving more than 150 slaps and 15 anti-venom doses. Arun was bitten while lifting a grass sack in a field on Saturday afternoon.
His elder brother Akash rushed him to a nearby medical college on the bike of a local pharmacy owner, Shivam Sharma. Doctors led by EMO Dr Sher Singh warned that the patient must not fall asleep as it could be fatal. Following their advice, Akash kept Arun awake by splashing water on his face and slapping him over 150 times for two hours.
A five-member medical team administered 15 anti-venom doses in two hours, three times the usual five doses, to counter the severe effect of the venom. Dr Singh said timely intervention and the family's alertness saved Arun's life.
