Burn victims face long, costly road to recovery in Iowa City
University Hospitals Burn Center director Dr. Albert Cram notes recovery can take two years and 6 to 10 operations for severe burns. After a May 12 propane furnace blast near Welton that left 60 percent of Donald Burzlaff’s body burned, staff begin grafting with dead skin removed early, using pigskin temporarily. Pain, infection risk, and nutrition needs with 8000 calories daily shape the grueling process, while facial burns present cosmetic challenges and long-term protective gear is required. The unit reports a 72 percent surface-burn survival rate of 50 percent, with rising overall treatment costs since three years ago.
