    To be fair. In a developed country with free health care the doctor probably would have either sent him home to sleep it off or maybe to a specialist where it takes months to get an appointment.

      I had this happen to me in Canada but the bite had swollen up to the size of a softball. Most painful bite of my life - like searing white heat agony.

      Anyway, drove 15 mins to the closest clinic and got in within 20 minutes. Gave me a course of antibiotics and told me to go to the hospital or call 911 if it got worse.
