"pre-treated" burn victim

[cosgrojo]

Is the patient on fire, or what? :?

Seems like every text I have seen in years very clearly says "dry sterile dressings."

If you have an isolated, minor burn area, then cooling is a valid option. However, removing cream would not be part of the plan. However, when you describe "a good portion of his body" being burned, attempts to cool the patient are likely to result in profound hypothermia. Not a good idea. Morphine would be a much better plan.

Mmmm... Morphine. (insert Homer Simpson gurgling)...
