The psychological stress of injury may be increased by the formidable array of med. equipment used in the early stages of care & by the number of med. professionals that patients encounter. Once out of intensive care, the burn survivor often faces a long & difficult recovery. Includes med. info. from leading experts -- & first-person accounts of the experiences of burn survivors. Organized to be useful immediately after the injury, & during recovery & rehabilitation, the book covers topics of concern to everyone affected by a burn injury.
