Horrible. I hope she’s able to heal.

Wow. All sorts of Wow. I didn't know having cysts removed from your head was "routine surgery"... it sounds pretty scary in and of itself. I wonder if those burns are second degree, and if so... what's the prognosis for recovery. (By recovery, I mean "looking normal again.")
I also wonder if she had alcohol in her system and that contributed to the fire. Not saying she'd deserve it if it's the case, because who could foretell that? I mean, they don't tell you before surgery "By the way, don't drink any vodka for 48 hours before surgery or you might burst into flames." Although maybe they should.

(1) I wish her a speedy and complete recovery.
(2) I now know what plausibly to answer when people joke "what the heck happened to your face?"
(3) You'd only have to see what I see in the mirror every morning to know that the joke's on me.

I was using electrocautery on the back of a dog once and the dog was intubated and anesthesia with oxygen and isofluorane. There was oxygen trapped underneath the surgical drapes and the area exploded underneath the drapes. Lucky, all that happened was the dog got a hair trim via flame. This is a problem when using electrocautery, hyfrecation or lasers.

Many hospitals/surgical centers have protocols for avoiding surgical flames, because of incidents like this. One of the precautions is to not use alcohol antiseptics.
I hope she recovers her original appearance... however, while working at a hospital with a top-notch burn unit, I saw enough burn patients to know that those kinds of injuries leave pretty obvious scars.

Someone had the oxygen mask turned up a bit much, me thinks.

Hubby & I are having a WTF moment here. I have a tendency to develop cysts in my scalp. Good grief!
I had on cyst removed several years ago in the doctors office. Novocaine, laser and a couple of stitches and I was out the door.
