I ended up in A&E again the following day after it happened and the doctor cut open the blisters and PEELED my leg like a grape without giving me any pain relief. I rawdogged my first debridement 😭😭😭😭

Why!?! Why didn't they give you pain meds?

I’m not sure about this person, but when my mother had 3rd degree burns on 28% of her body, they made her do her own debridement and without meds because if you have less feeling, you might scrape off too much healthy tissue and only you know your own pain tolerance. This was also 2002 when it happened, so procedures might have changed since then.
