"A cancer patient lying on a gurney waiting to be treated was fatally bitten by a snake [a pit viper], a hospital in western Thailand said Friday."
They said "the snake apparently slithered onto the gurney when it was outdoors."
I've been to Thailand several times but never needed a hospital. I'm not likely to go to one there now no matter what. Or hang around outside the hospital for that matter.
