Trauma and snake bites

I would like opinions as well as documented information (or reference to) to
whom a patient with a snake bite, severe enough to warrant admission, should
be admitted to.  The ER Physicians at this Level III Trauma Center, as well
as two of three Trauma Surgeons, think the Hospitalist should admit and care
for, and the Hospitalist say no, Trauma gets these patients.  Does ACS
guidelines address this at all.
Help, I need to take a stand on this!
Thanks
