Speaking of treating HN personnel SOTB... Yes I know the thread is 4 years old but I didnt have anything to post at the time...
The patient was a mid 20's HN Infantry soldier who had fallen elbow first into a pot of boiling water... We (D9 and myself) saw him 2 days s/p incident and until that time his wound hadnt been cleaned or wrapped. His only complaint of pain was when wind passed over it.

The wound was cleaned and subsequently wrapped in a Silverlon wound contact dressing, with the nursing staff at the clinic being educated on further cleaning and changing the dressing, and covered with loosely wrapped kerlix.
