severe burns

Fantastic book. I rec'd a 3rd degree burn and found this book a great resource. After the injury I had no idea what to expect or what to base health care decisions on. This book explains the healing process, skin grafting, burn garmets and much more. I felt I could make much more informed decisions after reading this book.

EXCELLENT SELF-ESTEEM AID< etc. BRAVO!

This book, is definitley rated a five star in most burn survivors views, there simply is no better guide anywhere, at least that I personally know of, and I have searched.
