Given that he went into the first ER, said, I have been bitten by a brown recluse, the doctor said, "We don't have those," he said "Yes we do," doctor said here's some antibiotic cream, have a good day." Two days later, different ER, similar conversation, three days after that, family physician is sending him to a city hospital for debriding the wound and IV antibiotics. So, less than a week.
Incidentally, we've always had brown recluse spiders here (aka Fiddlebacks). The first ER doc was an idiot. The second one was actually confused by the fact that it is wintertime ... but my friend was doing home remodelling and encountered the spiders when he ripped down some drywall.
