3rd Degree Burns

[hondaidontknow2]

I dont know, if I'm posting this in the right area or not, but too bad, if I'm not.

I just need some information on 3rd Degree Burns.

I've looked on the internet and can't find any information or informative websites concerning 3rd Degree Burns.


Eariler tonight, around 9:00 p.m...a few people that I know... Bryan,Levi,Blake, and Jon were in a really bad vehicle accident tonight around 9:00 p.m.

Bryan...has 57% of his body burned in 3rd degree only

Blake...has 53% of his body burned in 3rd degree only

Levi...has 10% of his body burned in 2nd degree and around 9% of his body burned in 3rd degree.

Jon...has just a few 2nd degree burns on his chest and leg.

Bryan,Blake, and Levi were both lifeflighted to a Childrens Hospital and Burn Center.

Jon was just took to a hospital in an ambulance, and is having burns treated, because they're not too bad.

What I'm asking is, does anyone on this website know of any websites that I could find some information about 3RD Degree Burns.

Someone just help and find a website, because I can't find any.

Thank you YZrida.

It does suck, especially since Bryan is my older brother. But I'm sure they'll all be alright.

They're going to have to enter rehablitation and have skin grafting, but hopefully they'll pull through.

Hey try webmd.net

I was a medic for 5yrs on a rural Fire Dept.

These are under the "rule of thumb rule" for the new medical books.
The 1st degree that is posted is pretty much true maybe add some small blistering.

The 2nd degree is a little more severe and caused the most amount of pain!!!

That is because the 3rd degree burns, burn through the muscle layers and into the nerve endings.


A couple of those guys sound like they are in serious shape. Are they at Childrens in Columbus Ohio.

They will be in my thoughts :( . I've had 3rd degree burns but never that serious. When I was younger I was pinned under my bike and the pipe was on my leg for a minute or two and it did some nerve damage. Worst feeling ever. Its a long recovery time and its not fun. Its good to hear that they are alive though :( .
