Severe Exposed Wounds
The info said it was caused by electricity but I'm no expert to verify that.

Re: Severe Exposed Wounds
Bedsores/pressure ulcers. if that were electrical burns they'd be white/charred. |

Re: Severe Exposed Wounds
I agree, those look like pressure sores and it's a shame that nobody caught it!

Re: Severe Exposed Wounds
Depends on a lot of variables. Weight, movement, bedding, humidity, incorrect handling of a person, shearing injury etc. Grade 3/4 could take hold in a few hours in the right situation. Sores are generally a gradual process grade by grade

Re: Severe Exposed Wounds
IF he gets proper medical treatment, I read that they will clean and disinfect the open wounds. Then they will take muscle and/or skin from other parts of the body to seal it. Antibiotics will be used to prevent further infection. It can take several months to heal or may never completely heal.
