Thursday I gave another lecture on acute management of burns and then did a couple more cases: a burn scar contracture release in a 10 yr old girl, and a burn scar excision and flap reconstruction on a 6 or 7 year old boy. Both procedures went well, and following these I did another lecture, this time on electrical burns. It was amusing to discuss this particular patient of mine who suffered from hypothermia from being left out in a Canadian winter overnight at -20ºC - hard to imagine here with the temperature at 40ºC and 100% humidity!
