My dog and I got jumped by raccoons this morning. Now I have to pay at least $1500 to make sure I don't get rabies
My dog is fine, though, which is the most important thing to me. The raccoons scratched my arm kinda bad and my legs are covered in scratches. My doctor can't be sure if the raccoons had saliva on their claws, and wants me to get rabies shots just in case. She sent me to an ER because she can't get the shots in our area.
I've been at the hospital for 3 hours and haven't been seen.
It's after my bedtime and I have to wake up at 5am for work...
I'm not having a good time.

Wow that is just extortionate. How long is the vaccine valid for?
Umm I can’t actually remember. I think it’s something like 1-5 years.
Even at it's longest, that's about $2000 a year - that is still crazy.
Yeah it’s crazy how corporations just extort you when the alternative is death.
