My then 6 yr. old son got a second degree burn on his foot, we were flying to Europe. I had asked for a cup of tea and my tray was moved accidentaly by other passenger, spilling the water on my son´s foot, he was wearing socks and shoes at the time of the accident. The airline did not have anything for burns in their emergency kit. It took 4 weeks for my son to heal. We lost completely two weeks of our almost 4 week vacation. What was the procedure to follow after this accident? Was the airline at fault? They had to call the paramedics before we landed at the airport. As soon as we landed the paramedics came in to get my son out the airplane and assist him with medical care. The confirm that was a second degree burn. I had to take him to the doctor twice, buy all his medicine and bandages. We were lucky to find a nurse that came to my daugther apartment to change his bandages three times a day for almost two weeks. My son is terrified of anything hot around him, since then he has not taken a bath, only showers, but I have to be there and check the water temperature all the time.
