Plenty of cadaver skin
REally!?!?! They can do that now? I thought that was only for temporary covering.
Im sure my unclew wish he would have been able to get that. Well, thats a few decades back. The moral of his story is dont go out to the machine shed to find mason jars full of gasoline to clean your brushes while holding a kerosene lantern and standing in a puddle of old tractor oil.
When I hear people say “oh ya, if a person has burns over more than X% they always die,” I know its BS. He had 3rd degree almost everywhere other than his ass so thats all the surgeons had to work with.
He came to live with us because we lived closest to the most advanced hospital in the state at the time. He was was really bad off, to the point that his tendons were shortened from being cooked. We helped him with therapy every day when he was allowed to. After they took the pins out of his fingers, that was a lot of work because there so many tiny tendons in there.
Before he had sort of a young John Travolta thing going one and had a lot of lady friends. Afterwards not so much, those kind of burns are forever.
