A Man Was Burned In A Fire. Then They Shot Him With A Really Nice Gun To Make Him Feel Better.
Upworthy ^ | 4/4/14 | Adam Mordecai

Dr. Jorg Gerlach has invented a gun that shoots new skin on burn victims. There's really nowhere to go from there, so let's just go ahead and learn about the skin gun.

WARNING: There are graphic closeups of burns in this video, so if that kind of thing bothers you, bring the smelling salts and a fainting couch. It's kind of amazing.

Truth be told, there have been some amazing medical innovations coming out, before the R&D stream is strangled by Obamacare. Just like everyone else, the innovators are in a hurry to deploy their ideas before they are smothered by the wasteful, inefficient, and malevolent government.

It’s more than amazing!

I am an RN and have worked in several burn units—especially the one at John Sealy Hospital in Galveston TX.

It’s hard for me to tell you how great I think this is……….

It looks amazing but it also looks like a possible hoax

Are they trying to raise money with this video?

4 days and it heals perfectly?

And they didnt think to take some BEFORE and AFTER photos?

only after?

With all this effort in video production, they could not take one of the other burn victims and wait 4 more days to see it heal?

I am skeptical

i know... it sounds like a great idea

but that healing is just too perfect after 4 days

I would like my FACE done that way if it looks that good

It is amazing -- thanks for posting.

The overproduction of the video, however, makes it seem unreal, more like an advertisement than a documentary. I would like to have seen more clinical detail of his actual healing process, like what it looked like when he was sprayed, then a shot every day or two afterwards.

A side note: under what delusion did that guy’s friend pour a cup of gasoline on a bonfire? And why was the friend not the one burned? Was he upwind?

The guy tossed the cup of gasoline into the bonfire and ran away ?

The guy who was burned had his side of his body affected so he might have been facing away from the idiot who tossed or poured the cup of gasoline never realizing he was about to get toasted..

Lots of reasonable explanations why....

That was most amazing.

The guy burns his hand, they spray it with the skin gun, and presto!, he now has an upper arm and shoulder that aren’t burnt.
