Barbara Ravage has fashioned an enlightening, invaluable book.\" --Stewart O'Nan, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Circus Fire: A True Story of an American Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003eThough each of us is just a spark away from being a burn victim, the public knows little and understands less about the world that patients inhabit. Pulling the curtains back on this private and sterile environment, \u003ci\u003eBurn Unit\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting account of the frontline efforts--both modern-day and historical--to save lives devastated by fire. With unflinching urgency, Barbara Ravage follows an extraordinary team of healers at Massachusetts General Hospital, the cradle of modern burn treatment and the site of one of the best burn units in the world. From Boston's Cocoanut Grove fire of 1942 to the treatment of the victims of the Rhode Island nightclub fire in early 2003, we watch everyday heroes do their incredible but punishing work against the backdrop of history. Both a moving human drama and an engrossing scientific exploration of this little-known field of medicine, Burn Unit is an unforgettably powerful read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306814198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.62h x 6.54w x 0.81d","brand":"Barbara Ravage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635534229660,"sku":"9780306814198","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_642aedc5-a1b2-47e7-a9f9-30c392b30672.jpg?v=1603839825","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/burn-unit-saving-lives-after-the-flames-9780306814198","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
