Burn Danger Highlighted by Doctors in JAMA Editorial

Three Texas physicians from the University of Texas Galveston warn of a silent burn epidemic surpassing polio in 1954. They urge a national program to cut burn injuries and deaths via safer heaters, flame retardant clothing, media education, and coordinated government action. The group cites 1970 data: 6,700 fire and burn deaths and 250,000 disabling injuries, noting severe burns cost about $36,000 per patient with a 50 percent mortality among those over half the body. They studied 368 children at Shriners Burns Institute from 1966 to 1970, with 90 percent burned at home or nearby.
