In July of 1999 I was burned at work. A sawdust silo exploded and I was run over by the truck I was loading. I had a 27% burn, 4 broken ribs, 3 fractures to my scapula, and nerve damage to my shoulder. Both of my hands, half of my left arm and most of my back were skin grafted. A long hospital stay, twice daily dressing changes, 3 graft surgeries, physical therapy, compression suit, none of this was even a little bit fun. Guess where the skin for the grafts came from! Infection is the biggest problem with deep burns. Ordinary burns and blisters hurt and are annoying, but deep burns need medical attention.
