This is where we literally skin people alive. Does that made you cringe? I do, too, upon seeing and hearing them scream as we peel of necrotic tissues from their burnt skin while begging us to do it slowly and gently. Indeed, we do it as slowly and as gently as we can but it is really painful. Ideally, burn patients should be sedated during debridement, but what can we do? It is literally painful to be poor. :'(

This reminded me of Leelah's stories about burn victims/patients she's had. Tsk, tsk.
