Hey Coyote Peterson, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a RU-vid Videos and also a Documentary all about the Extinct Carnivorous Marsupials of Australia, Tasmanian Tigers (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Thylacines, or the Tasmanian Wolves on the next Brave Wilderness coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
I miss watching coyote as often as I used to when I was little. Coyote was a HUGE part of my childhood, and I'd like to thank him for making it amazing.
@@TommyT_ everyone can be scared of snakes. But I mean like she clearly isn't scared to the point that she can't be near them. She isn't scared enough that she can't be close to one. That's what I'm talking about that good on her for still loving animals like snakes
That first doctor should be sued for malpractice. What a crazy story and such a strong compassionate woman. I like how patient Coyote was once they had the snake out and how he kept checking to make sure she was comfortable
Yeah, that is such a clear case of malpractice. Sadly, suing doctors for medical negligence or mistakes wasn’t common at all in the 1970s. You just figured you had bad luck and lived with the consequences. I ended up with a chronic autoimmune disease after a series of medical errors following a major surgery in the 1970s. I was 12 and had no idea what was going on since the doctors didn’t tell me anything. All I knew was that I went into the hospital for a big surgery, and by the time I went home several weeks later, I had an illness that would never go away and would cause damage to my body over time. The doctor in charge of my care had apparently prescribed a medication for me after surgery that caused an unusual immune response from my body. The doctor misdiagnosed this reaction and ended up treating me for the wrong thing, causing further problems. Then he did nothing for several days, claiming he needed to wait to see if the treatment was correct. Once a different doctor figured out what was going on, the damage was already done. This disease has cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past 45 years. It’s also caused me to become disabled as an adult, while limiting my ability to work. Had my parents sued the doctor for malpractice, I might not be living in poverty today. I’ve never been able to save any money because every penny I earn goes to pay for healthcare costs. My parents said that the idea of suing the doctor never occurred to them. It just wasn’t done unless the doctor had made an error so big it killed someone or left them permanently unable to care for themselves. Many people call medical malpractice suits "frivolous," but when a doctor’s mistake ends up costing you huge amounts of money over your lifetime, it’s not frivolous to have those expenses paid for - and to have the doctor suffer some sort of consequences for their error.
So sorry to hear that, & thank you for sharing- it’s stunning how much harm doctors can do, & then not care or even be held accountable for it-!! Almost like they think they are Gods alot of the time…🤨
I had a similar story where I rushed to the hospital for chest and left arm pain. Couldn't breathe either. I felt like I was gonna die. They thought I was just on drugs or something. I was put in the psych ward and left without treatment for hours. They finally rushed in 4 hours later after blood test results came in and took me to the ICU. I was having severe pericarditis and could have died. Fortunately, I do not have any permanent damage and have fully recovered so I don't have grounds for a lawsuit. The aspirin I took right before I went to the hospital literally saved my life. I sure hope this poor woman got a good lawyer and sued.
I liked Liila... she seems like a very nice and tough lady. I'm glad she didn't lose her compassion for animals because of the snake bite. I wish her well.
@@Upper_echelon_exotics Ask him. Back when he doing the List of stings he would claim he couldn't lift his arm off the ground. Which doesn't happen in the real world. I've been stung by most of what's on his list and never had that problem, nor has anyone else.🤣
@@specteractual1 That by no means excuses the doctor's actions. Any doctor who assumes what a patient has done and refuses/changes their medical treatment according to their own false judgement should be punished.
The woman got bitten by a dangerous snake and survives to tell the tale. I love how this channel is teaching us what to do if we get bitten by venomous snake, mad respect for the Brave Wilderness crew.
Coyote I would just like to say thank you for educating my daughter on animals and being A big part of her childhood. She still watches your videos every now and then, but the amount of knowledge that she now has about animals is incredible.😊
It hurts my heart so much that the doctors wouldn't listen to her. While it wasn't a life threatening situation, I had also had the experience of ER medical staff not listening to me. I was told that that a GI bug was going around, and that's probably what I had. Since I had those same symptoms before I knew that wasn't the problem. They sent me home with a medication that made my symptoms worse, and I ended up back in the ER that night. They had theories, but they never could figure out what was causing the pain. Occasionally I'll still get the same pain, but for several years it hasn't been severe enough to cause me to seek medical attention.
As someone who took a bite from a king cobra(my own "pet" which isn't at fault, I am responsible for it biting me,) this woman's story really resonates with me. The entire process was surreal. Laying there wondering if today is your last day while all of these doctors are trying to figure out what to do. I'm in the USA so the doctors didn't believe that I was bitten by a king, even though I was 100% sure as it was my snake. It was terrifying. Just like her I'm lucky to be alive, but it didn't kill my love for snakes. I love my king. Snakes are amazing creatures and have an important job. If anything, it made me truly respect the abilities of these animals. I'm so glad she's here to tell her story, and I appreciate that she doesn't hate snakes just because she got bit and almost lost her life.
A harrowing tale of survival! Her account of the Rough-Scaled Snakebite and the subsequent medical challenges is truly remarkable. What a courageous woman!
He took the blood test. It was only his first reaction because he was not waiting in the hospital for snake victims, it was a rare case too, in the 70s.
@@Robbie_S Doesn't matter, im pretty sure she tried to tell him she'd gotten bitten. His bias wouldn't allow him to hear her, and that nearly cost this woman her life.
When I was a kid many moons ago, our primary (Elementary) school used to have St Johns First Aid come to give us junior training. Kids can learn basic first aid and even CPR from age 6 and Snake bite was on the course. Personally I think it should be allowed in every school budget to get kids used to handling even tiniest of injuries 🙂
you remind me of like Steve from blues clues if he was raised by Steve Irwin. A GIFT to nature lovers, esp younger people. thank you for doing what you do
Doctors like that are infuriating. I had similar condescending experience after a traffic accident with a possibly more serious head injury. If they don't want to do their job properly, where lives could be at stake when they slack off, they should quit and become butchers or something more appropriate for their mind sets.
@@jerricaleonard2123nurses are often the mean girls from their classes. As someone who has so much family in the medical industry including myself I have personally seen this. I have a super rare genetic disorder and even tho I’ve been diagnosed with DNA they still don’t believe me (if anyone is curious google vascular ehlers danlos syndrome)
I hope she took that hospital for everything they had....just assumed she was some hippy on drugs?!?! WTF...they almost killed her..and she's got permanent effects from it, which probably wouldn't have been the case if she got treatment right away
I was born in 1974 & have to say that this woman Liila is the bravest & strongest woman I know for going through this pain. I'm glad your still with us & part of the Brave wilderness crew. 💪🤠🐍💯
Hi Coyote, Great to see you are back in Australia. My name is Jaison and I am 7 years old and I have been watching your advent❤ures since I was 4. I would love to go on a wildlife adventure with you in Australia. Please come to Sydney like you did last time. There are so many other wild places in Sydney like the blue mountains range which you could explore. Also you could interview people here who have had close encounters with funnel web spiders and great white sharks. I am your biggest fan from Sydney.❤😊
Hello Jaison 😊 I like your post . I was 7 years old once . That was a long time ago though . 😅 Im now an elderly woman , and still love going on all sorts of adventures. Hope you have a ton of fun outdoor excursions !
Coyote Petersen has already been to Sydney a few times (see the funnel web videos he's already done, and won't bother doing again). But good luck to you investigating wildlife in Australia!
Dude, great job typing that all out. I’m 39 and got to visit Sydney for the first time ever back in February. My tour guides took me to Featherdale and I really felt like Coyote myself. I can’t wait to go back, one of my top 3 places I’ve visited and I was only there 3 days.
It was really fascinating to hear her story and it allows us to learn more about the snake's quick-acting venom! And you made it better by surprising her with her consent to touch the tiger snake and to learn more about the survival first aid! I always love survivor's stories so I'm happy that you did this. What's next??
I'm still a kid and you're videos just brighten my day bc somone hacked this account and deleted all my vids so I have to make another but I don't know how
I saw an Eastern Brown last weekend going for a walk along Paradise point. I really need to get some type of kit and keep this in my car. So many red bellies and Eastern browns in my area at the moment.
I was bitten by a diamond back rattler. The treatment made me so sick. I have no phobias of snakes and very much appreciate the non poisonous ones I see in my yard. However, I am vigilant about watching out for those venomous ones that occupy this area such as the rattler, copperhead and moccasins.
im guessing an eastern since you have moccansins. thankfully where i live we only have rattles.... but here in california we do have several types of rattlers and some have different cocktails of venom... such as the mojave is super dangerous and of course the western diamond.. but i believe the western is further south.
I had a close call with a Rattle Snake when I was about 7 years old. I wasn't bitten, but it was right under my feet, curling and tail rattling like crazy. I think that I was disturbing it's hole, kicking dirt while trying to climb up a small cliff near my Grandparents house up in the mountains. I consider myself extremely lucky.
She’s a tough cookie! I live in central florida and have learned all the markers for the 3 venomous snakes I’m the area and how to differentiate from the good guys… which worked out well bc about 2 weeks ago had a Floridian banded water snake sneak in thru my back patio door but bc I saw the lines on the jaw, and his pattern I new he was harmless. Stopped him up in a towel and released him into my garden. I agree with Liila that snakes just wanna live their lives and they’re not out to hurt us. I’m happy knowing I’ve got snakes on my property providing free pest control. ❤ Side note: I’d love to see more videos like this with Coyote interviewing other animal incident survivors, animal professionals, et centra.
Living in CFL, you actually have 4 species. The 3 Pit Vipers=Dusky Pygmy, Water Moccasin aka Cotton Mouth, EDB-The big 1 Eastern Diamond Back and the the only Elapidae Cobra Species the Coral Snake
This is just your average country Australian story, my aunt got bitten by a tiger when she was 11y/o. My day got stung by a scorpion a few years back and 9 months ago I got bitten through my shoe by a red belly black while on a walk. But thank god I and everyone I know who’s been bitten didn’t go through the same thing this incredible lady went through!
This man deserves mad respect this man got bitten by everything for us like this man built my childhood and let me know how dangerous some animals/insects are!
What an amazing woman. And I really appreciate that the guy giving the demonstration mentioned that with some snake bites (like from some species seen in the USA), you wouldn't want to wrap the bite location. ❤
One would THINK after this woman's near-death experience, that if you live near where there are venomous snakes, that proper precautions like NOT walking around barefoot, or in sandals would be a sensible thing to do. Also, making sure that children, when playing outside, who are curious by nature, are constantly reminded to be careful and not touch, or go near snakes if they see one.
I miss watching coyote as often as I used to when I was little. Coyote was a HUGE part of my childhood, and I'd like to thank him for making it amazing.
Great story. There was a long time when tiger snake antivenom was all that was available. Not sure if that was the case then, but luckily, while there are no tiger snakes around the Gold Coast area where this appears to have happened, it is the closest relative to the Rough Scaled Snake. I was on holiday on the Gold Coast in 1974, though I was only 4 at the time, so I don't remember much.
I live where coyote grew up (newbury ohio) and I was apart of the last graduating class from that school (we merged with West Geauga in 2020) he was also born the same day I was! I’ve been watching him since middle school and I just have to say thank you for all of the adventures over the years. You have nurtured my love of nature and the animals in it over the years, I appreciate you and your crew so much
I hope people in the USA caught that last part. If you are bitten by a rattlesnake DO NOT WRAP YOUR ARM. it is a different type of venom that will cause more damage with a compression bandage.
I’m a Queenslander living in north tropical Queensland and these videos are great to watch thank you for this sort of information.. I have one of those bandage kits
This is an incredible video can’t believe she survived very scary good to know what snakes can do to people so we can all be educated thanks brave wilderness for this video to educate us all on snakes and how there bites can affect us
I'm very glad that they mentioned that not all treatment protocols are the same. Most people only tell of one way to treat them. And it leads people to believe that's how they should all be treated. Which has lead to a lot of miscommunication and arguing about which one is "the right way."
Yeah she’s right about the coma and having them breath through your neck hole. I had the exact same scenario (not a snake bite) and they had to do the same. I had that machine through my neck hole for months and it was absolute hell. The one thing in my life I never ever ever wanted was a tracheostomy. I can’t stand people touching my neck and here I was with a machine breathing for me through a neck hole that they have to drain every couple hours by using a mini vacuum cleaner they poke through your hole.
Impressive story! I would have thought that most bite would happen on the lower part of the leg after stepping over a snake, so i was quite surprised to learn it tend to occur more often on the hand (i guess picking up things in a low and enclosed area could the main circumstances for that)
Lila is definitely a strong woman, Bitten by a deadly bite and coming back to life then waking up after 6 days of a coma? My word that is alot, And coyote you are a strong man aswell, During childhood I'd watch your videos astonished by what you let sting, bite, Even be near you😂 And you actually slowly lifted my phobia of snakes surprisingly a long time ago, But just know that your content also was very educational for me as I grew up in Florida by a swamp probably crawling with gators and water snakes along side the insects, Love your videos, and how they help others in dangerous situations, Stay safe and Be brave, Stay wild, And I'll watch your next adventures.🎉
This was a great video and Liila’s story was quite a story. I am so so glad she made it through and is here to tell about it! I am glad she got to see the tiger snake and she was willing to pet it. Such a great story all the way around! I love 💕 love 💕 love when you guys post, although I missed seeing Mario! Tell him I said hello 😊. What about interviewing Chandler from Chandler’s Wildlife? He just got bit in India by an Indian Cobra…….just a thought. Take care and stay safe!!! 😄💙🐬🐊🐍🫶🏼
This was so cool and informative. I hope you guys do more of this. I really enjoyed it. Also super glad she pulled through her family would have been devasted, not to mention her babies.
It's awesome to see coyote and crew spend so much time in their defacto home of Australia. I like the huge jet black tiger snakes from Chappell island.
That's a pretty amazing story... Sadly disappointing how things still haven't changed in much of the world when it comes to people judging and brushing off someone's situation/pain as some stereotype - then and now. I'm really glad she went and actually touched the snake! Twice even! I somehow did NOT know about the kit not being able to work on all snakes in the 'states. Did not know that... I know we have a lot of different types, but didn't know that the method of immediate action (kit-wise) wouldn't be the same...
How can you tell a pregnant snake from a meal full snake? I watched a Steve Irwin video and thought of this question totally off subject but thought it'd be good to know.glad Lila is alive and well! Very lucky survivor!
