Re: Treating Burns
A and E are now starting to refuse to treat people with what they perceive as minor injuries. They will triage and then tell you go to see your GP or to go to a walk in treatment centre.
Darren don`t use the jelonet for more than a couple of days.... it`ll keep the wound too moist and it won`t dry out with a permanent layer of jelly over it.
Jelonet has no medicinal qualities whatsoever in it, the jelly won`t help the wound at all, it`ll just keep it moist.
I agree with soulkiss in that the internet is not always the best place to seek a diagnosis or advice. People post on here asking for medical advice and quite often the advice given is wrong. I`m not disagreeing with some of the advice given here just to be troublesome, it`s just that people who aren`t medically trained whilst meaning well might be giving the wrong info. Obviously in this case it wouldn`t be too detrimental but I have seen advice given on this forum that could have been quite harmful to the person concerned and I felt the need to PM and put things straight.
