Sous Chef burned his ankle!!

[FishermanTim]

I spilled boiling hot water on my hand when I was a kid (pouring into a cup from an old whistling tea kettle) and the whistle/stopper popped open at the wrong time and sent boiling water over the cup and onto the back of my hand near the thumb.
Before I knew what had happened, I watched as the skin literally peeled back with the water.....then the shock and pain set in.

I doused it in cold water, but the damage was done. I had to hold my arm in a sling for awhile until the throbbing pain subsided.

It's a pain I hole I NEVER experience again!

He just got back from the ER and saw a burn specialist, a few shots of antibiotics, some silverdine and a script for 750mg vikes.

he has severe 2nd and slight 3rd degree burns, told him to keep it clean and keep in covered.

He has a follow up appointment in 3 days with the specialist.

Luckily he doesnt fish or have tats so he wont be missing out on any action.

The funny thing is the doctor told him to stay out for one day only and is cleared to return to work. seemed odd to me.

The guy is a super hard worker and has been with the company for 11 years, sucks for him.
