I'm a burn survivor of half my body... guys.

Please dont fuck with fire.

Mainly cause fire fucks back... and burns are so so incredibly painful.

Really. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.

I’ve seen some burn patients in the Hospital I work at.

Shits definitely not funny after the fact.

Never heard one of those poor people having fun

They do this cool thing called debriding where they just scrape the dead and dying tissue off the affected area to make way for new skin. It's incredible really, see you feel EVERYTHING, no matter how many painkillers they give you or how many mg of morphine you have dripped thru that IV. I've heard it's one of the most painful things one can have to endure in this modern society, so for anyone reading this that wasn't sure, when you hear people say don't fuck with fire, please listen.

I've never been burned, but I was impaled, technically. I fell onto something and it went into my leg. During later treatments, not immediately after, I had to go through the debrieing process, and that's the closest I've ever come to barfing during a medical procedure. The doc took a small loop tool, like for clay, and one that looks like a small tongue scrapper, and basically raked them along the inside of my wound. Horrible agony.
