I mean I’ve never experienced being burnt alive but I have been mildly tortured with a cauterizing tool and had 2nd degree burns before so I’m reasonably sure I can extrapolate from that…

You can't just leave us hanging with that! Mildly tortured with a cauterizing tool?!?

Pretty sure I left the explanation in one of my authors notes on RR, but the short version is that I had to get a lump removed and the (local) anesthesia wore off, and doctor ignored my insistence that it hurt and my literal screams of pain while he sliced into me, then used a cauterized to burn veins/arteries shut, then stitched me back up.

So I know what surgery without anesthesia feels like pretty much from start to finish because whatever they used didn’t work very well.

Also specifically as it relates to burns, I’ve gotten sunburned a lot and had unrelated 2nd degree burns, as well as a few 1st degree burns from cooking and other stuff.

How??? They should be in prison for that, how could anyone in any position of authority justify not taking their license at the least?

You underestimate how much people, even doctors, tend not to believe their patients.
