Second degree burn

Story from nhs.uk

"Second degree burn"

About: Manchester Royal Infirmary

I'm aware that this walk in centre states they don't do dressings anymore, but when I ring 4 days in advance and ask if they can redress my burn becuase there's no available GP that's capable to do it, I'm told that's fine. When I turn up first in the door at 8.30am on a Monday

I'm told I can't have my unsanitary bandage changed. I work in a restaurant, I can't do my job with a unhygienic hand. This is not the first time the Hospital has let me down and I'm sure it won't be the last.
