The first second when you got burned - every person should know
When you got burned for example by hot water, immediately rinse with running water for 10 mins, my teacher Dr Shide Qin said.
The severity of the burn is proportional to the temperature times the length of the exposure. When you are exposed to extreme heat, the left-over heat in that part of your body continues to cause damage even if you immediately withdrew away from the heat. Applying cooling water can minimize the damage or even save your life.
A friend of mine, also graduated from a medical school, said her teacher taught that, you need to jump in even if it is a shit pit when you got burned! Her teacher thus got an alias called "Zhang da4fen4keng1" ("shit pit Zhang") .
