The following are the excerpts of the interview with Raveena, a student of Class XI C, who was a victim of a fire accident.
1) Have you ever got
burned?
Yes.
2) Which part of your
body got burned?
My
hand got burned.
3) How did you get burned?
It
was an accident that happened. I got burned from the lamp that I was lighting.
I was lighting the lamp in the evening and accidentally the fire caught on my shawl
(dupatta). I tried to remove it, but by that time it got stuck to my hand and my
hand got burned.
4) What did you feel when
your hand got burned?
It
was like water boiling on my hand. It
was really painful.
5) Which hospital did you
go to for treatment?
I
did not go to any hospital. I approached
Dr.
Shivashankar , who has a clinic near my house. After consulting him, I did not
see any improvement, so I went for Ayurvedic Treatment.
6) What was the treatment
suggested?
There
was no special treatment given. The burns were observed and an ointment for
external application was given.
7) How did you feel after
the treatment?
The
ointment was very effective. I was fine in almost 3-4 days.
8) Was it a serious
injury?
Yes,
for me it was, because half of my hand was burned and I was not even able to
write. When my hand hit somewhere accidentally blood used to ooze out and it
really hurt.
Thanks a lot for having spared your time to speak to us.
