Patient Testimonial: Kellen, Burn Patient
“I’ve told people, ifanything were to ever happen to them, or they simply needed to get something checked, go to Research Medical Center. Burns are more common then we realize, and you’ll be in good hands with Dr. Garcia and the burn unit team.”
When Kellen Brandt, a 35-year-old father and farmer, suffered deep burns after being electrocuted, he was life flighted to RMC where he was under the care ofDr. Megan Garcia, board-certified surgeon and burn specialist with the Grossman Burn Center.
“Electrical burns are serious. Often times the internal injuries are worse than the skin injuries and the fluid resuscitation they require is something a burn center should handle,” says Dr. Garcia.
