Back to the Burn Unit

Between Christmas and New Years I happened to be in Iowa City and stopped in to say hello to my burn nurses at the Burn Treatment Center. While there I happened to mention that there was a small sore on the back of my knee that hadn't healed. I had somehow injured it a couple months prior and I'm not sure exactly how. My nurses turned white and immediately called the burn surgeon who was out in the hall. She looked at my sore and began explaining how she thought she'd be able to close the incision primarily (without a graft) and that I should come into the burn clinic the next day.
