Good for you for not having ill will towards bat even after getting bit! I wonder what happened as they usually stay well clear of people.

I was bit last year by a stray bat in my house. I also went to Palo Alto Medical foundation and was referred to either Stanford or Sequoia hospital (PAMF does not stock the rabies vaccine). I went to Sequoia for the full series of shots. The final bill was $13,000!
