This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Third degree burns never get sent home by doctors. They need urgent care and not 'letting it breathe'

It would depend on the extent of the burn if you get sent home, but yeah the wound would need to stay covered. I've had very small 3rd degree burns that didn't require any professional medical attention.
