Difficult Burn Victim Case: Minh Man

  Minh Man pre-surgery 
  Originally uploaded by interplast.

My Tho, Vietnam - Minh Man is a friendly 10 year old boy.  When he was 4, his clothing caught on fire while playing in his house near a wood stove.  Panicked, Minh Man ran out the door and around the block - it was ten minutes before his mother could catch him and douse the flames, by which time he was badly burned.  Today, his left wrist is locked in an extremely awkward position due to the shrinking of his skin over the years, making his left hand rather useless. No Vietnamese doctors that he has seen would attempt his case, because of how difficult it would be to release his wrist to allow for full extension.

Once in the operating room, Dr. Khundkar and Dr. Nolan released Minh Man's burn contractures on his wrist to give him full extension of his wrist. They will next take a skin graft from Minh Man's abdomen to place on the open wound where his skin had shrunk.

Yes, I remember crsiosng the street in HCM, but I actually felt pretty safe crsiosng the street (without child). It is amazing how the sea of bikes engulfs you but goes around'. You are right though, you have to help the process by bravely stepping into the stream, not stopping or looking back, but and going at an even pace till you reach the other side. Enjoy your time!

I remember being told when corssing a street in Cairo hesitation kills . I never hesitated after that! We are about to invest in face masks as our mode of transport now is by scooter here in Bali. Here they cover up too, and I have to admit I am now doing the same as it's because of the intensity of the sun and browning the skin!Have a wonderful trip I look forward to following the next posts.
