He's afraid that if he makes that knowledge public, the Federal Government will somehow try to suppress it.
Eeyup.
I will say one thing:first third degree burns are something which I hope never to experience, right up there with torture in an Iraqi prison and Kia ownership.
Eeyup.
I will say one thing:

Hadn't thought about that... He didn't try to use any cutting tools against the fire that I can remember...
Sidebar: It's taken me about 15 years to finally hip up to the concept of layer-based image editing tools, but holy crap does it make putting together composites like Little Mrs. Pyro there a lot easier.

I can deal with most types of blood & gore. Beheadings, traumatic amputations, open sores, large-caliber gunshot wounds, you name it.
But severe burns just give me the *******.

Funniest thing is, you ask any one of the patients what their pain level is, they're lying there with a ****-eating grin on their face anyway from the Propofol, Versed, and Fentanyl they've been getting all through surgery, and they'll tell you it's a 10/10.
Bring on the Dilaudid !!!

Because they are nasty. I third degree burns on my index finger as a child. My fault, playing with fire (BBQ grill) when my dad's back was turned. The scars are all but invisible after 45 years.
But when I was younger, they would start to burn and itch like mad for no apparent reason. Fire is serious ****, and your body remembers it, even if you have forgotten.

Heh. Burns suck. I've been fortunate to only suffer a few relatively minor (and small burns).
1. Stuck an unfolded paperclip into a wall socket. Yes, I was holding on to the paperclip. Yes, it knocked me on my 70 lb, 4th grade ***.
2. Was reaching for the soldering iron, not looking, stuck my knuckle right onto the tip. That one didn't hurt for several seconds. Then it did.
3. Trying to close the lid to the grill, missed the handle, grabbed the edge of the metal lid. Quick enough to avoid blistering, but was stupid sore for a week or so.
