A man bitten by his pet King Cobra decided to drive himself to hospital while calling 911 and calmly explaining his situation.
Ali Iyoob of Orange County in North Carolina was bitten on his wrist by the snake on May 2. When he called 911, he said to the dispatcher in a calm voice: “Hey. I just got bit by a King Cobra and I’m on my way to the hospital.”
The dispatcher didn’t quite get the situation right away, so Iyoob explained his situation again.
The dispatcher then asked him if he intends to get to the hospital himself. He said he'd continue driving. But when asked about his condition he said: “My vision is kind of blurred. I’m sweating like crazy.”
