Great story. There is one thing that doesn’t make sense though. At the end of the story, they mention that it is still rare because it is so expensive.

But the cost they give is 5000 pounds for the treatment, and 800 pounds for the “reCell machine”. That seems very inexpensive to me, compared to the cost of multiple skin graft operations.

So maybe I’m missing something.
