[Magdalen] Sarah report

[Jay Weigel]

Good news. Burns are the most painful and difficult of all injuries, and
the hardest to heal from. Second degree ones, especially if extensive,
cause severe pain with dressing changes to even the strongest people. Third
degree ones, which you would think would be much worse, don't, because the
nerve endings have been destroyed, With the second degree burns, the nerve
endings are "out there" and exposed, which accounts for the pain.

Here endeth the lesson.
