San Clemente, California surfer Jim Miller, 54, stopped to check the surf at the Trestles overlook on Sunday, April 3, 2011, and as he was walking back to his car he was hit on the foot by a rattlesnake, according to a story in the OC Register.
“I heard the rattle just as he got me and then again as he was taking off,” said Miller, 54. “I knew it was a rattlesnake right away and called 911 with my cellphone. . . “At the hospital, the nurse asked me twice if my affairs were in order and if I had a will.”
Miller ended up at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center and after a short trip home checked back into the hospital on Tuesday. He is reportedly going home on April 7, 2011. Gotta be careful out in the wilderness, we guess.
