What can you do to save some one from a snake bite if out side of hospital reach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Snake bite: Remove any constricting items like jewelry. Immobilize the limb (if bitten there) & keep it below heart level. Get a photo of the snake if you can from a safe distance. Get the person out of the wilderness and to emergency medical attention asap. If far out of reach, you will need to call an emergency rescue team. One reason it's good to bring your cell phone with you.
