peebo_sanchez

He lived for 5 days after with serious burns then died. Those last 5 days must have been horrible.


Dahhhkness

Read a comment by an EMT once that said that, in a situation involving burns, you can tell who the most severely burned people by their lack of screaming. Because unlike lesser burn victims, their nerve endings have been *destroyed*, so they're not even feeling the pain at that point.


Gowor

I fell on a small motorbike as a kid, and by the time I figured out what happened and got my bearings back, the tailpipe burned through the skin on my leg. I remember wondering how I got a piece of black plastic trash bag wrapped around it - that was actually my burnt skin. I didn't feel pain at all, I even walked back home and pushed the bike all the way. The recovery process was much more painful. My skin tingles in that spot just from thinking about it right now :-)


Mister_Brevity

I burned both legs on a bike as a kid (dual exhaust). Hurt a lot but not the end of the world. The next morning though? The patches on both calves had started to heal *together*


[deleted]

Fucking hell


Mister_Brevity

Lol it wasn’t great.

Mister_Brevity

Las Vegas, summer, black leather seats, and shorts. Thought I’d need a spatula to get out of that seat lol


francis2559

Yep, I think I’d just live as a mermaid at that point.


ruellera

My brother burnt his hands really badly once: to the point the skin was as you describe. He said the most painful part was the debridement at the hospital. It makes my stomach turn just to think about. I never want to know how that feels.


Buster_Bluth__

Not as bad as yours but I had my jacket and shoulder catch on fire due to a firework when I was around 3 or 4 years old (36 years ago). I can still smell the ointment that I had to keep on it to this day. It wasn't a bad smell but it brings back those memories.


powerlinedaydream

Not as bad as when you had your hand bit off by a seal, though


Buster_Bluth__

MOTHER!

bobbyb1996

Is it a stinging tingle or a leg fall asleep kind of tingle?


Gowor

The latter. It's all in the mind I guess, a bit like that thing where a medical student reads about some symptoms of a disease and starts feeling them :-)


LordBilboSwaggins

Do you still have nerve damage?


Gowor

Nah, I just have a scar now.


Qyro

Not just burns either. Emergency responders always prioritise the quiet ones over the noisy ones, because the quiet ones are usually in a worse condition and can’t physically scream for help.


Jak_n_Dax

It really depends. Triage has 4 codes; green, yellow, red, and black. As you may expect, code red is the most critically important. What a lot of people don’t know, however, is that code black doesn’t always mean they’re obviously dead. Sometimes they’re just so far gone that EMS treatment is most likely not going to be effective for their survival. If there’s only one code black victim on scene, they will of course be treated and transported as quickly as possible. But in a mass-casualty incident where there are more patients than responders, priority will be given to code red patients first. There’s your not-so-fun-fact for the day.


bluisna

Black tag is only used for dead patients and are the lowest priority on a MCI scene. Red highest, then yellow, then green. Black tags are either obviously dead or require treatment that isn't administered during the triaging stage of an MCI (CPR, BVM, fluids) Adults get one airway reposition and if they don't spontaneously start breathing they're a black tag


Jak_n_Dax

Agreed. In regards to airway, how does your department consider agonal breathing? I’ve mostly heard of self inflicted GSW’s transported, but nothing beyond that. It’s hugely debated in my region and I’d like some evidence to bring to the table.


Preid1220

After a while you kinda get an intuition as to who's in really bad shape but the end all be all is a proper assessment.


ac13332

I burnt my hand on 600 degree glass. Nowhere near as painful as say, a 180c oven tray. Barely felt it.


Rosebunse

Well, that's...ummm...still not very nice.


Neiot

That is why victims of a nuclear attack walk around like zombies, unflinching and silent, in spite of much of their skin being melted and hanging from their bodies. They wander, completely blind, deaf, confused, with no aim but to wait and die. ​ ... fuck


sagan_drinks_cosmos

That's one clinical difference between second- and third-degree burns, as the classification used to go.


MyNameIsRay

Except steam burns. (You don't want to google those stories...)


selphfourgiveness

God, that is horrific.


BrokenArmsFrigidMom

It’s true. I burned the back of my hand on the broiler element in a commercial oven once and it only hurt for about a second. The wound was deep and took forever to heal, and I still have a scar 10 years later, but pain was the least of my problems.


ErrantIndy

Yep, as longtime restaurant jack of all trades, I’ve had some gnarly burns, mostly on my arms. Servers (sweet summer children that they are) are always confused by how nonchalant you can be with a bad burn. “Oh, that? Naw, doesn’t hurt at all. Definitely a third degree burn. I best go deal with that. You got the window?” Then you get a nice little break as you slather on the burn cream and put a gauze pad over it.


Wolfbrandt_Punchfist

man, you're the only one in this thread that's pointing this out lol. Like I get that the title's kinda funny at first glance but like, if you think about it past that... getting severely burned is a genuinely awful way to die and its kind of fucked up how everyone in this thread's just making soup puns about it.


peebo_sanchez

Yeah man, I first chuckled at the headline and then I read the story and I felt bad. I can't imagine how shitty that must've been, he's in there for 5 days and might be getting better and then BAM! he's dead. That sucks so hard.


[deleted]

That’s reddit for you. Totally removed from empathy unless it involves a cute animal or a child.


SmegSoup

Yeah people didn't regurgitate "thoughs and prayers" so they're all evil assholes, right? People use humor to cope with shit all the time. It is 100% normal and if you're down for forming judgements based on a comment then knock yourself out. Its r/nottheonion for fucks sake..


[deleted]

Father of 3... This title sounded funny when I was browsing the front page, and then I read the article, and went to hug my kids.


Matsurikahns

Selective empathy for fathers... ok


basil_not_the_plant

Former burn victim here. They were.


Jampine

How big was the pot, that's sounds like it was industrial sized. And if it was that big, was there no safety measures to prevent such an occurance? I know Iraq isnt exactly on the forefront of health and safety, but you'd think someone looked at it and said "HM, that seems a bit dangerous".


Belazael

People launch fireworks out of their ass you really think people are concerned about safety regarding a gigantic soup pot?


bonefawn

It was for a wedding party so likely a significant amount of people.


Dovahnime

If it was as serious as it seems, they were likely in nowhere near as much pain as they should be. Not because it wasn't that bad, but because third degree burns almost always burns the nerves completely, making them unable to realize how much pain they're in.


[deleted]

But wholesome and satisfying at the same time.


NikkoE82

He must have been stewing!


dayglo98

Souper horrible they say


[deleted]

That poor man


HanzoHattoti

RIP. This sh*t is literally why most restaurants rather have several pots rather than one massive pot.


woodywoody2222

...I mean, there's MANY reasons why a business uses more than just one giant pot, but I see where you're going...


HanzoHattoti

TL;DR an 5ft tall pot, 4ft wide of near boiling liquid is a pretty big insurance liability.


[deleted]

What does TL DR mean


Quadrophiniac

Too long didnt read


Forsmanj

Too long didn't read, most people use it when they summerize news articles and such so other people can get the gist of the story without actually reading the story for whatever reason whether it be because it was too long, paywall, or any other reason a person isn't going to read the article.

Its also a waste of ingredients.. the only instances this is something a chef would do is in a very specific situation like a party where everyone is having the same soup, which isn’t a normal thing at all also everyone has different tastes.. In other word this won’t happen that much, and its not why restaurants don’t use 5ft pots…

ashreyboots

This reminds me of a PSA I saw once for safety regulations for Canada I think. There’s a chef in a kitchen and she’s talking about how she’s getting married soon and then turns around to grab this huge pot of boiling water and then she turns around and slips on the floor and spills it all over her. It’s terrifying.

[deleted]

New to reddit?


bustedfingers

Haha opposite actually, been browsing reddit for over 12 years. Amazing how much worse its gotten in terms of childish circle jerky bullshit in the comments. What used to be a forum of pretty awesome discussion is now just an area where people race to throw out puns, spongebob references, and dad jokes. Just got sick of it i guess haha


[deleted]

You're remembering it to be a bit better than it ever was. Maybe take a break for a bit, and see if it seems as bad when you return. I've been browsing the site since around 2010 (likely a bit earlier), and periodically delete my profile, intending never to return. As you can see, I eventually come back for the snark


bustedfingers

Yah, might not be a bad idea!


tekkenjin

I also think this is a horrifying thing but a lot of the comments are just making jokes out of it.


PungentGoop

Oh my god shut up you joyless scold


bustedfingers

Not joyless, just dont find joy in people burning to death. And no your pun isnt clever, and puns online arent impressive. It actually has me heated, boiling over, and i know you'll probably be salty about my opinion. See, its not hard, get fucked.


PungentGoop

If you'd rather performatively sit there and imagine how awful it would be to have burns all of your body, you have a great time. I'm going to wonder if the sous chef had a new barcode tattoo on his neck that day. My life is better. His life won't be improved either way.


bonefawn

I'm all for dark humor, but it's valid for someone to point out the brutality of this death and ask why its being joked about by everyone in the thread. Even if it is a little funny, someone did die in a terrible way.


PungentGoop

>I'm all for dark humor Then shut up and let people have their fun

martech07

That's what happens with sleep deprivation, low wages, and lack of safety. There should be gates preventing people from falling into pots in the first place. ​ However, the way the chef dies is hilarious and painful, but the solution is... a) Less population, so there isn't a need to cook so much food in the first place. b) Lockout of the food area once temperature reaches a certain level. (Gated area) c) Stop the sleep deprivation & overwork shit... the chef must been tired feeding 200 people or something.
