Burns are among the most traumatic and painful injuries any person can suffer. Many burn injuries require immediate and extensive emergency medical treatment. Related problems, such as medical expenses and lost wages place additional stresses on the burn victim.
Our skin is much more than just protective covering for muscle and tissue. It is a complex organ made up of three layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous. Each layer has a different role to play, such as helping protect us from toxins and disease, and regulating body temperature.
Serious burns do more than cause pain and scarring, they can destroy sweat glands, hair follicles, skin elasticity, nerve endings and more.
Complications resulting from burn injuries can include:
- Debilitating pain
- Severe, even permanent damage to skin, nerve, muscle, and bone tissues
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Infection
- Impairment of function in the affected parts of the body
- Death
In addition to the physical pain, many burn victims suffer emotionally and financially as well. They may never be able to return to work and be stuck with astronomical medical bills and other financial obligations. They may have to endure many years of medical procedures and physical therapy.
In the worse cases, burn victims may have to live with severe disfigurement and scarring which can result in severe emotional distress.
