why do some burn victims die months after being exposed to the fire?

473 views

I was reading about some burn victims from summer fires in Greece, and some succumbed to their burns more than 3 months after they were originally exposed to the flames. Shouldn’t they be in the clear at that point given burn wounds heal over time?

As a burn victim myself I have been wondering how the mental state effects the healing process. Heard some stories from my burn-nurses of people worsening because of the negative mental state they were in.

In my case (5-10% 2nd/3rd degree) it was not a question if i were to make it, but nevertheless I’ve suicidal thoughts because of the pain, which also had a clear effect on my healing process..

Anyone who knows more on this? I’ve been wanting to know for quiet a while
