Dear Mr. Deep Burn,
We are pleased to inform you that after careful evaluation and consideration by the burncare team, you have made significant progress in your recovery process. It is with great pleasure that we prepare this discharge letter, marking an important milestone in your journey towards regaining your health. We are confident that with continued dedication and adherence to the following instructions, you will continue to make remarkable strides.
Wound Care Instructions:
- Daily Dressing Change: It is crucial that you perform a daily dressing change on your burn wounds to maintain optimal healing conditions. Gently clean the wound area with normal saline solution and apply a thin layer of an appropriate topical burn ointment, such as silver sulfadiazine or mafenide acetate. Cover the wound with a non-adhesive dressing, ensuring it is securely in place without causing excessive pressure.
- Pain Management: We understand that managing pain can be challenging during the healing process. Please continue taking prescribed pain medication as directed by your healthcare provider. If you experience increased pain or discomfort, do not hesitate to contact us for further evaluation and adjustment of your treatment plan.
- Prosthetic Care (if applicable): For any prosthetic devices, such as Kazanjian’s dentures with gold plates, ensure proper cleaning and maintenance according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the care of these devices, please consult your healthcare provider or prosthetist.
- Nutrition: Proper nutrition is essential for optimal healing. Aim for a well-balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. If needed, discuss any dietary modifications with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian.
- Physical Therapy: Regular physical therapy sessions will help improve flexibility, strength, and overall function of affected areas. Adhere to the recommended schedule provided by your therapist and communicate any concerns or challenges you may encounter during your sessions.
- Follow-up Appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider as directed to monitor your progress and address any concerns that may arise.

Dear Deep BURN,
I am Dr. Michael Truppe, a university-certified specialist in Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Maxillofacial Surgery. I understand that you have recently suffered from a severe burn on your right forearm, which warrants my attention as a holistic healthcare professional. I will outline the steps we will take to address both your acute medical needs and long-term rehabilitation.
1. Acute Burn Care:
a. Pain Management: Given the significant pain you are experiencing (rated 8 out of 10), we will prioritize pain control using a multimodal approach, including analgesics, local anesthetics, and nerve blocks as necessary.
b. Wound Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your burn injury is essential to determine the extent and depth of tissue damage. Based on your description, it appears to be a deep partial-thickness burn with blistering and a wet surface. This type of burn requires careful attention to prevent infection and promote healing.
c. Fluid Resuscitation: Burn injuries can lead to significant fluid loss, so we will closely monitor your hydration status and administer intravenous fluids as needed to maintain adequate blood pressure and organ function.
d. Infection Prevention: We will clean the burn wound daily with sterile saline solution and apply an appropriate dressing to protect it from infection. Topical antimicrobial agents may be used if necessary.
e. Tetanus Prophylaxis: Given your history of diabetes, we will ensure that you are up-to-date on tetanus vaccination or administer a booster dose as needed to prevent tetanus infection.
f. Nutritional Support: Burn injuries can increase metabolic demands, so we will closely monitor your nutritional status and provide supplements if necessary to ensure adequate caloric intake and protein synthesis for wound healing.
2. Long-Term Rehabilitation:
a. Wound Healing: Depending on the extent of your burn injury, you may require skin grafting or other
