Really when you think about it, venom is a very impractical form of self-defense as the animal can easily be killed before the venom has time to take effect, barring any instances of anaphylactic shock in the bite victim, of course. On the show, however, they neglect to mention facts like this & almost portray snakes as being "out to bite" people.
Just my $.02...I realize I'm horribly biased.

I tend to agree about it being somewhat biased. The medical staff seems to try to present it in a way that isnt swayed either way, however any network is going to try to make money by getting viewers up. They ( the network ) plays on the general public's fear and lack of good information.
