The next day Janet's ankle is very red in the area around the bite. It is hot and tender to the touch. Being nursing students, you decide not to take a chance and you drive her to the local hospital's emergency department to have it looked at. You wait there for four hours while other, more seriously ill patients are seen before you. It's your last day at the beach, and even Janet is beginning to feel it's not worth wasting the day in the waiting room. So, you leave the hospital without seeing a doctor You go back to the house and Janet puts more aloe lotion on the bite. Then off you go to the lake. That night Janet's roommate wakes you at 2 A.
