[TheForge] Cure for a bad burn?

[Marrin Fleet]

I have used silvadene (1%  silver sulfadiazine cream) for years.
Sometime back, I was getting low, and went to the VA.  I asked if I
could get a prescription to be used on the outside (Non VA).  They
asked whether I was currently suffering from a burn.  I said no, but
that occasionally I work with very hot metal, and I wanted some to
replenish my first aid supplies.  Their reply was 1) that since I was
not currently burned, they could not prescribe me any, and 2) they
could not provide a prescription for use outside the VA system.  So I
went home, and began to scratch my head whether I knew any doctors
that I could prevail upon to give me a 'scrip.  Lo and behold, about
two weeks later, I got this 14-oz jar of sulfadiazine cream in the
mail from the VA!  I still haven't asked what made them change their
minds!
