[TheForge] Cure for a bad burn?

[wmullett at bright.net]

I don't care what is printed on the net.  First hand experience has shown that ice stops the damage from going any deeper.  Would I submerge a burned patient in ice?  NO! 

The trouble with these kind of posts is they assume the worst.... That the reader is a moron ... and they are probably right.
