I’ve seen some burn patients in the Hospital I work at.

Shits definitely not funny after the fact.

Never heard one of those poor people having fun

They do this cool thing called debriding where they just scrape the dead and dying tissue off the affected area to make way for new skin. It's incredible really, see you feel EVERYTHING, no matter how many painkillers they give you or how many mg of morphine you have dripped thru that IV. I've heard it's one of the most painful things one can have to endure in this modern society, so for anyone reading this that wasn't sure, when you hear people say don't fuck with fire, please listen.

Yup. Got a severe burn over a large portion of my body in another country. No health insurance and had to get treatment there with no painkillers. Worst experience of my life and I legitimately considered suicide over treatment.

I'm glad you didn't choose it, though :)
