It is Thanksgiving, and a turkey frying incident has gone terribly wrong. A man was deep frying a turkey in an outdoor fryer. He dropped the frozen turkey into the large tub of boiling hot oil that overflowed, caught fire, and "exploded" burning oil all over him. He was not wearing a shirt. He covered his face with his hands but his arms and chest were badly burned. He has very painful blisters covering both arms, from his shoulders to his fingers. His forehead is red and tender but not blistered. His Chest and abdomen are pale gray-white in color, with little swelling or pain. Yet the doctors seem most concerned about infection, dehydration, and body temperature. Why?
