I was dumbfounded by the attitude of some of the medical personnel I had to deal with when I was once randomly bitten by a stray dog. After I demanded to be vaccinated at the emergency room they finally gave in but their attitude was "the dog lives in the city, it doesn't interact with wildlife so you're most likely fine". I told them 'most likely' doesn't make the cut for me when we're talking about a disease with a mortality rate at 100%.

- spacenick88 8y agoThat's honestly quite terrifying. In Germany there was a supply chain problem for rabies vaccine a while back and even though they seem to have managed it kinda scared me.
- Paul-ish 8y agoIt's amazing how, to doctors, what were once once meaningful life and death scenarios just become more work or less work scenarios over time. They are desensitized.
