The burning of Siam Lee



An article by Timeslive dated 15 January 2018 speaks to my essay on burns in human trafficking and puts a pattern of burns as a form of messaging and coercion in prostitution and trafficking.

These are messages - not mere disposals of bodies.  Traffickers/pimps  are messaging you - showing you what will happen to you if you oppose them.

I also cited brothels as the gateway for trafficking - and this recent incident once again brings it to light.

Greedy pimps traffick. It's the doorway because girls will often find being paid for sex a more favourable option to poverty that the thought of being forced into it without pay - raped and beaten.

It's not a better option because you're an easier target when they already have you.

Young people - stay away from drugs. It always has sex attached to it. Dealers will use you as a slave to pay your debts.
prostitution is not the answer - your pimp will eventually sell your services without pay. and if Im right about the patterns i see emerging then he'll burn you into obedience.

Stay away from the house in your community where you know prostitution is taking place. You may never get home again.

This is serious stuff and young people are targets.

Please do not play with fire - you will get burned

let's talk about this.

In honor of the memory of Euton Murphy

The Campio Burns Group has lost a dear friend and Secretary of the Board, Euton Murphy who passed away on 4 July 2012. We salute him for his support, input and hands-on attitude and spirit. We will miss his enthusiasm and energy, his honesty, integrity and gift to see the positive in every challenging situation.  He was unselfish.....and thats just a fraction of who he was. We are the better for sharing paths, be it shorter than we anticipated.  Our thoughts are with the family of this amazing soldier who walked and walked and walked.......

The first 48 hours after a burn

The first 48 hours after a burn injury has occurred are the most critical. The challenge for healthcare professionals is to get patients through the first stages of recovery by preventing fluid loss, and preventing and or controlling infection. Infections are a serious threat to burn patients.  In the first 48 hours patients will lose fluids from the vessels, sodium chloride and protein which flow into the injured area causing blisters, swelling, low urine output and low blood pressure. Doctors combat these effects by providing patients with fluids, electrolytes, antibiotics, pain medication, tetanus vaccination and often inserting a catheter. Once the patient has been stabilized doctors and nurses begin cleaning the wounds to prepare them to be covered. Burn patients will continue to lose fluids until their wounds have been covered. Wounds may be covered using ointment and a dressing. However, for more severe wounds a skin graft may be needed. Skin grafts present complications
