Anyone know about really bad burns - 3rd degree?

Issue
Say you came upon a fire scene, you go to help someone out, but they are already charred black (roasted/toasted, basically) would you just end up pulling their skin off, the way it slides off a marshmallow or a well done turkey leg?
Is it better to leave them?

Best Tip

Third-degree burns additionally have charring of the skin, and produce hard, leather-like eschars. An eschar is a scab that has separated from the unaffected part of the body. Frequently, there is also purple fluid. These types of burns are often painless (insensate) because nerve endings have been destroyed in the involved areas.

A local anesthetic is usually sufficient in managing pain of 3rd degree burns. Lidocaine can be administered to the spot of injury and will generally negate most pain until paramedics arrive.

what do u mean by leave them...if theyb are alive..you will have to do every measure to save them or at least if death is inevitable...to take them to a place where they can be cared after
if you think the person is still alive or they show signs of being still alive (screaming,yelling, moving arms/egs) AND you are not putting yourself at risk for severe injury AND you are trained in first aid-then yes, you could move them-but the chances of someone surviving that type of severe burn are very slim.

NO, I would want them to live anyway! It would take awhile and there would be a lot of pain. BUT I WOULDNT WANNA LET SOMEONE DIE LIKE THAT!
Shame on you, you are really messed up, I hope no one you care about ever has to endure the trauma of any type of burns, maybe you wouldn't find it so funny if you had to be in the burn unit for 6 months healing your marshmallow. or turkey leg. Get a life
