An escharotomy is a surgical procedure performed to allow greater circulation to a part of the body. A severe injury, such as a burn, can cause skin and tissue to swell so much that blood no longer flows easily past the injury. For example, a severe burn on the upper arm can cause the skin and tissue to become so tight that the hand does not get the blood flow it should. To prevent damage to the tissues that are not getting enough blood, surgical incisions are made along the damaged area, which releases the pressure of the swollen tissues and allows blood flow to resume. Because of the swelling of the damaged tissue, the surgical incisions may spread open, showing the tissues and structures beneath the skin.

I think I would be begging for death.

I'd either be begging for death or praying that the fire had damaged my nerve endings (by destroying them entirely so I wouldn't FEEL the pain...at least, not until I started healing - then the begging would begin again). Poor bastards - but better hacked up like a tic-tac-toe board than stuck with slowly strangling limbs that could end up in a bio-waste bin out back.

In those circumstances just let me die.

Ready to be barbecued.
(Oh, wait, it has already been barbecued.)

No, seriously... This is horrible, the pain must be excruciating. :(
Such a burn must already be painful as fuck, but a burn with cuts all over it... *cringes*

It's wierd how in the first picture, the whole leg is burned to crisp but the foot looks normal.
