Skin graft???

Mrs. Gaucher received second degree burns on her abdomen when she dropped a kettle of boiling water. She asked the clinic physician (worriedly) if she would have to have a skin graft. What do you think he told her?

Skin graft???
Is this a joke or riddle?





I imagine the clinic said no, she wouldn't have to have a skin graft, since 2nd degree burns heal ok on their own.





But that depends on how much they like money and doing unnecessary treatments in order to make more.





I did have skin grafts on part of my 2nd degree burns, but the part of my leg that DIDN'T have skin grafts eventually healed on its own to look just perfect, while the part that had grafts is forever scarred.
Reply:No. Not if the burn heals correctly and without complications. Usually only 3rd degree burns require grafts.
Reply:Normally 2nd degree burns will heal up just fine and will not require a skin graft.


Ja.
