In a scene that blurred the line between a medical emergency and a scripted comedy, an e-rickshaw driver in Mathura redefined the phrase 'show and tell' after being bitten by a snake.

He told that he has bitten by a snake and the next question was - 'Where is the snake?' Then came the real surprise.

Deepak (39), a local, on being bitten by the snake rushed to the to the hospital to get a dose of anti-venom. When he was waiting for the treatment at the hospital, bystanders sensing his urgency got skeptical and asked about his problem.

He immediately pulled out the 1.5 feet long reptile from his jacket. As per a report published in PTI, he said that he had already waited for 30 minutes at the hospital despite it being an emergency situation.

The hospital administration asked Deepak to leave the snake outside as it would have put other patients in danger.
