Two Burn Victims...

ak. It was a busy Monday at the Rhein-Valley Hospital. By 9:00am, the waiting room was already full and over 15 patients were waiting outside. Within one hour of each other, two completely independent pediatric burn victims arrived for emergency care. One had fallen into a fire and burned her knees. The other had tripped, while walking backwards, into a pot of boiling water. Nurse Kennedy worked diligently and efficiently, and within 45 minutes the boy was on his mother's back heading home...mind you, without a smile.
