A burn injury is extraordinarily painful, both physically and emotionally. The physical trauma associated with these cases is well known and easy to see. Some of the more difficult problems burn victims face can be invisible to the eye. It is extremely common for burn injuries to cause mental trauma that requires professional counseling.
Serious burns are also medically complex, frequently requiring both immediate medical and long-term rehabilitative care. Burn injury patients are much more likely to suffer from infections and complications in treatment.
