Doctors say his wound could take more than six months to heal fully.
A man from Franklin, Tennessee, almost lost his finger last month after he was bitten by a stealthy rattlesnake.
"It was just kind of a freak accident," McGee told local station WZTV Tuesday."I honestly never thought that a rattlesnake bite wasn't that big of a deal… It didn't hurt real bad, just like getting stung."McGee sought medical attention after the injury took a serious turn for the worse. About a week after the incident, doctors punctured and drained the bulging wound. The procedure shrank the digit, but left it shedding layers of skin.
Doctors said it could take six to eight months for the wound to heal fully, according to Dorris' post.

Doctors Recount Difficult Procedure To Separate Conjoined Splash Brothers At BirthSAN FRANCISCO—Explaining that the harrowing 27-hour operation only had a 13 percent chance of success, doctors from UCSF Medical Center recalled Thursday the incredibly difficult procedure to separate the conjoined Splash Brothers at birth. “We quickly discovered a bleeding internal vein shared between the two that didn’t appear in our initial 3D imaging, causing us to almost lose Steph right away,” said lead surgeon Robert Pacheco, adding that his 12-doctor team of pediatric surgeons and anesthesiologists worked in shifts to separate the then-newborn Splash Brothers, whose bodies were initially fused from the top of the abdomen to the pelvis. “The most significant complication arose when we realized the two shared a liver and part of the digestive tract, so we had to proceed very cautiously, and fortunately managed to avoid hitting any arteries. Because of the unexpected blood loss early on, we were prepared to lose one or both Splash Brothers, but they fought through the procedure, and thankfully, the two of them made it.” Pacheco added that some kidney damage suffered during the operation caused Steph’s stunted growth, which remains the reason he is still much smaller than Klay.
