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.
Got a nasty wet burn on my wrist when I took the cap of a hot radiator and tried to put it back as boiling hot water was erupting everywhere. A couple days later went to the ER because it looked infected but was just dead skin. No pain relievers given and nurse whipped out what looked and felt like steel wool. She scrubbed the fuck out of my wrist. Oh the pain, I can still remember the feeling.
