Whats it like to be a burn patient? that must be agony!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Painful, difficult: You are right that burn patients usually are in terrible pain. If the burns are extensive and deep, serious medical problems such as nfections and fluid loss complicate treatment. Healing takes months to years and often requires many surgeries, and long, painful rehabilitation.
