What an incredible gift your mother gave. Thank you to you and your family for giving your blessing. This fantastic documentary really highlights how critical skin donation is. It doesn’t receive the same media or awareness of solid organ donation, or even blood donation, but skin donation is especially unique. Solid organs have something of an “expiry date”. Depending on the organ, they can last up to ~20 years (some people have organs that have lasted even longer, but this is rare). This requires re-transplanting. Skin donations will , in most cases, last a persons natural lifetime. It is not only a life saving gift, but also one granting functionality, and aesthetic. Thank you for your mother’s gift, and may her memory bring you joy.

After being transported 80 miles to the nearest burn unit my husband was told I had less than a 5% chance to survive the next 24 hrs. Every day that passed that number increased. This was in 1999, and although I received outstanding care and obviously survived- watching stories like these leave me feeling blessed all over again. The advancement in treatment from 1999 to Megans in 2015 is amazing! And yes, dressing changes and debridement is nothing less than pure agony, there are no words for that level of pain.

@Debra Olivier: When I was in nursing school, we were sent to Metro Health hospital to observe and learn about burn victims. There was a 19 year old boy who was somehow burned on 95% of his body. He worked for a company that put hot asphalt on building roofs and parking lots, etc. He was so bad, he had long pins, more like stokes on a wagon wheel; this was so that his finger's would not fuse together. The look in his eyes was so....like, it was more than fear, it was terror and confusion. His eyes were screaming "why? Why? ". And the screams that came from the tub room was blood curdling. My first boyfriend put up neon signs on businesses and such. He died when his truck somehow lost control, coming back from a job in Pa. He was ejected from the cab of the truck, slid into the pool of gasoline, and they said that probably his big belt buckle sparked the fire. This was before nursing school. After the burn unit, I felt that it was better that he expired. He was a fireball. It was more merciful than if he had lived. It didn't help, but he used to say: " live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse. " I am sorry that I told you all of this, because the last thing I want to do is to cause you more pain. Every time I think of this, I place in our dear Lord's hands. I was so traumatized by this, but I did become an RN, and every patient I have, gets the best care that I am capable of. And when a patient tells me that they are in pain, I stop what I am doing, and go to get that patient their pain pill or injection....no one in pain ever waits more than 3 to 5 minutes when I am their nurse. If you don't mind, I have placed you and your loved ones on my prayer list. It isn't much, but I wish you all things bright and beautiful and peaceful. Many blessings to you. 💖

@@zombienursern4909 thank you for your reply, I truly appreciate it. Yes, I too believe it was better for my husband to pass. He had been a fit athletic man and the surgeon told me that he would never have had the use of his hands (they would continue to bend into talons from the severe trauma), he would have been wheel chair confined and he would have faced years of surgery. I know it was best for him to die. Burns are truly the most awful injuries out. There is an amazing woman in Australia that was caught in a bush fire whilst competing in an outdoor trail race. Her story is just incredible, and so is her husband's love for her. Thank you again, you are a wonderful caring person and nurse. Too many nurses these days only see it as a job, not a calling. Xxx

it's heartbreaking to see people having fun and enjoying their time to then suddenly being attacked by the fire and hundreds being severely injured, losing loved ones or being left with horrible scars that'll remind you of the event. it was unfortunate that some had to go to another country just to have the things they needed to be accessible to them. i hope that most of them were able to have a speedy recovery and my prayers and love goes out to those who lost their lives during the event.

I caught on fire in 1966 I was 5 years old and 75% at 3degree and the rest of me was second and first back then my chance of surviving was less than 5 present. My father was a Navy pilot so his commander had me transfer to the military burn hospital in Texas, it was the only burn hospital in the U.S.A as the that time back then you had no way to wrap the burns and they used pig skin for graphs and corpses for graphing skin on to me until I had some skin to use. A lot of men died around me, it was a sad time. ( Vietnam War) The one thing I always prayed for was, please God help these Doctors make it so people don't have bad scares like mine and make there healing faster and less infections. Today I see that my dream came true. Her scars look good! Love and light to you my friends 💞

Can you imagine being a burn victim and having someone that is a burn victim herself as your doctor? I think Megan will help so many people!
What an incredible gift she’s giving back !
I completely agree with you! She will help so many people. And when she says "I understand what you are going through" she really does!
Without context that ``is´´ makes it look like she has also been burned with you lol
@@alejandrobardolaserna2841 Not really, she will always be a burn victim. That's just how English works I guess.
My father became an ophthalmologist because he almost went blind as a teenager. Own experiences can be a powerful motivation as well as a powerful tool to connect with patients.
Megan is so lucky that she had all of these resources available to her. The fact that a world-class plastic surgeon was in Taiwan and was able to be there for her, the fact that his friend even cared enough for Megan to call him on her behalf, the fact that she’s a Singaporean national with access to the SGH skin bank and SG universal health care, everything. I’m sure a lot of the victims in that fire weren’t so lucky. I’m so happy to see her healthy and well.
Her results and recovery are truly amazing and clearly the result of a humanitarian team effort. I wonder how the others made out comparitively?
She is really lucky that the Singapore surgeon just so happened was at taiwan that week for the plastic surgeon conference. He was just heading to the airport to return to Singapore when he got the call to see Megan at the taiwan hospital.
Yes not all burned victims have access to all these resources. I'm really glad she's doing well its clearly a miracle that the doctor was there at that time.
not fated to die yet ..........
I thought the same thing
When my mother died, we donated skin. Because she'd had so many medications to treat her pneumonia and multiple organ failures, it was all we were able to donate. She was such a giving person in her lifetime that we were happy we could do a little bit.
What an incredible gift your mother gave. Thank you to you and your family for giving your blessing. This fantastic documentary really highlights how critical skin donation is. It doesn’t receive the same media or awareness of solid organ donation, or even blood donation, but skin donation is especially unique. Solid organs have something of an “expiry date”. Depending on the organ, they can last up to ~20 years (some people have organs that have lasted even longer, but this is rare). This requires re-transplanting. Skin donations will , in most cases, last a persons natural lifetime. It is not only a life saving gift, but also one granting functionality, and aesthetic. Thank you for your mother’s gift, and may her memory bring you joy.
I’ve told my family to give away as much as they can of me. What’s the point in cremating me intact? You are very brave though, I feel like that about myself but don’t know if I could go through with it with a loved one. You should be very proud ❤️
An amazing gift that would be immeasurable for the person who received it. ❤ You did a good thing.
@@dollface2917 have you registered as an organ and tissue donor in your country? It’s awesome that you have had that conversation with your family as, unfortunately, in most countries the family makes the decision, regardless of if the person is a donor. A lot of people are registered donors but their families sadly decide against their wishes. Very very few people ever die in a way that their organs or tissue can be donated, but if that does happen, it’s the most selfless gift to give, and an incredible lasting legacy. Well done for discussing this with your loved ones and making your wishes clear with them!
Bless you
she looks fantastic for having had 80% burns. all of the medical team did an amazing job and are heroes for all that they do. it’s amazing that she survived, let alone made it in such good condition.
80% is huge. Most I've ever heard of was 50%, Clifford Johnson at Cocoanut Grove. He went back in 4x looking for his blind date (that he'd just MET!), and didn't make it the last time.
yeah they're heroes. (mine too,)
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 holy the massive balls he has
I would like to suggest that anyone wanting to donate organs should also sign up for tissue donation. Many, many people can be helped by one person’s generosity. Proud sister of a tissue donor.
I’m happy I’m a donor
I became a donor the day I got my license and pray when I go, I can help at least one person.
When my husband passed away suddenly we mentioned he was an organ donor. We found later that they had taken skin as well as organs. The thought that he helped so many people helped in our grieving.
@@dawnfinnegan6558 it does remove some of the senseless loss. I found it a step in the right direction.
How do you sign up for tissue donation? I’d love to do that
When you go to bed tonight, remember to be grateful for what you have. You could be in a burn unit, permanently disfigured, on the edge of death, surrounded by your sobbing family, and going through pain that transcends words for weeks or months. If you have a normal life, you are so so lucky.
100%❤
I am a burn survivor. 70% full thickness burns and of course smoke inhalation. After being transported 80 miles to the nearest burn unit my husband was told I had less than a 5% chance to survive the next 24 hrs. Every day that passed that number increased. This was in 1999, and although I received outstanding care and obviously survived- watching stories like these leave me feeling blessed all over again. The advancement in treatment from 1999 to Megans in 2015 is amazing! And yes, dressing changes and debridement is nothing less than pure agony, there are no words for that level of pain. I had nightmares about dressing changes for several years.
Bless you
God bless you 🙏🏽
Dumb question possibly….but can they not medicate you or sedate you during the dressing change to help the pain?
@@christiewright1457 I was on morphine 24/7, with additional for dressing changes, but nothing can take the pain away.
u dont remember much do you
This was truly an incredible watch. Kudos to the entire medical team, from the plastic surgery consultants, nurses and physios, and all the best to Megan!
Ah whoops, lost the hearted comment when I corrected the typo for physios HAHAHAHA
Here it is again!
@@CNAInsider y'all are awesome, thanks!

I cant even imagine a quite easy going manageable night at work and any givin time all hell breaks lose !
There’s so many preconceptions about plastic surgeons, but they actually do so much good! They help treat burn survivors (my own mother had to get plastic surgery on her leg after she got burned by spilling boiling water on herself as a kid). They also treat things like cleft palettes I believe. They’re more than just a shallow cosmetics profession. My respect goes out to them.
A plastic surgeon did the work on my legs when they were opened down to bone and tendon. Did great!
Some I’m sure.
A plastic surgeon closed me up after spine surgery where the incision was made on the front of my throat. Instead of a thick, noticeable scar, it’s a barely noticeable, thin line that is smooth and flush with the skin around it. I was concerned about scarring.
I had a plastic surgeon work on my hand two years ago from a dog bite. I had a nerve graft done that came from a donor. So thankful for the person who donated themselves to help people like me and thankful for the surgeon that worked on me!
@@rainbowunicornnun Plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery are two different things. Plastic surgery is for things like palate clefts, scarring, and other disfigurements. Cosmetic surgery is things like lip injections, face lifts, and nose jobs. it’s only cosmetic if you were fine beforehand and just get it done because you want to look different. Plastic surgery is more akin to reconstructive surgery, and often they are the same thing.
I am a burns victim. An Industrial accident in 2000 which left me blind in my right eye and 70 inches of skin grafts and donated skin areas .in total I had 26 operations in 14 years. The compensation money does not give you back what you have lost and the money spent doing to hospital for appointment. Some days 5 or 6 appointments in one day .or two different hospitals in the same day.
I am a burn survivor 25% of my body burnt. To be plain it sucked, the hospital did a great job. No amount of money can compensate for the emotional/mental/physical pain.
I’m sorry for your injuries, but glad you survived!
I've heard the recovery process is far more painful than the actual burn. I've told my mother that if something as tragic where to ever happen to me, I don't think I want to come back.
@@kirstywright5228 it’s true. I don’t know the pain I never took care of a burn patient. But even with very strong pain meds there’s a lot of screaming. I don’t have the courage for that type of injury.
@@bonnieabrs1003 I've heard the complications with it are awful. I think it's easier when your older because the skin struggles to stretch as a child? I never knew you needed multiple grafts at points at during different stages of growth.
I didn't know skin banks exist very insightful and very very progressive ✨✨✨
You can be a tissue donor or organ donor. As you can see it’s necessary & very much in demand. My brother was a tissue donor. He improved the lives of many. I’m so proud of him.
@@bonnieabrs1003 the majority of it comes from organ donors who have passed.
I’m a registered organ donor, I want EVERY. LAST. PIECE. of my body used to save others. I give blood once every other month, at one blood drive we were told be saved 3 lives! I’m fascinated with medicine and the way it’s evolving.
Oops *we*
It bothers me so much I can't even donate blood at all, due to 3 autoimmune disorders and my low weight. I'm just not allowed to.
Apologising to her parents! My heart! That gorgeous girl apologised for an accident not of her making. So glad they saved her life- her parents had a great daughter, her will to live is strong
Personally, I took it as: "This may be my last moment to say I'm sorry for anything I've done"
I can see myself apologizing for being such a trouble to them even though it was totally not my fault. And apologizing in general for anything I ever did wrong. Not rational, but there it is!
He worried he hadn't made the correct decision, knowing she's sharing her story while hearing him we know he made a great call. She's a lovely young woman, so grateful she pulled through.
Burns are the most devastating injuries one can incur. Skin being the largest organ, unless you have an amazing burn unit you are screwed.
Indeed. I got burns injuries in my legs, not so severe but it takes month for the skin to recover and start healing. For a month I can't move from bed and it is indeed hurts so much 😩
no getting shot is worse and we still have guns in america its so fucked up our country is os corrupt at least it didnt happen to megan here cuz we dont even have free healthcare so u wouldve been screwed
@@jungkooksfootrest7699 defo rather get shot than have a full body burn 😂
@@jonjonny1300 classic white straight male fascist response
@@jungkooksfootrest7699 what are you going on about son in what way does that make me a fascist lol
Massively humbled by the skill, dedication, care and compassion of this entire medical team! The value of a single human life is such that so many put so much effort into saving. Just wow! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much gratitude for the perfect, and imperfect, skin that is quietly protecting my precious body 🙏🏼
The doctor who immediately took action when he heard the news of the fire, is incredible. I would hope that people in new zealand would act in such a way. BUT I AM NOT SURE THAT WOULD HAPPEN> BRAVO MAN>
What about the volcano island explosion. I am sure they stepped up to help those poor people.
@@tamfuwing1 nah that was actually a disaster. They sent help way too late and many died because of that.
He's my doctor lol
The color powder used in the festival was a flammable organic matter. It was like the powder produced in a wheat processing plant that caught fire in Iowa USA.
yeah, that's very unrespectable and irresponsible from the festival organizers.
@@rottis5042 Agree. You mean "disrespectful," for the record :)
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 oh, yes.. couldn't think of the word when i commented
Flash burns from aerosolized powders cause deep burns & lung damage as well. It's not something most people are aware of. Even not terribly combustable powders develop static charges moving through the air. Even something like talc can flash in the right environment.
This is what causes dust explosions, right? I’d have thought they would have known about the dangers.
Wow, the fact Megan is able to keep her composure while recounting her story…what a brave (and extremely lucky) person.
I can't imagine a worse experience than massive burns. Even when you get a tiny burn, it hurts so much. These kind of burns are unfathomable.
Wow this was just recommended to me and well im a burnt survivor too with only 40% chance of survival.. it happened when i was only 6 years old at the time and let me tell i have trauma of going into operation room, going in and out of the hospital was hard, my scars on whole body remained till now make me conscious of my own body, i had to learn how to walk again like a baby and so much more. I have never been so grateful towards whoever that helped me in the past although all of it was kinda blurry as to how young i was when everything happened. So here i heard the survivor in the vid with only 10% chances of survival idk my heart just tick ? Sorry w the bad eng not my first language haha
Raids, I’m so glad you came through! I understand how you feel about having a lot of scars; I had numerous surgeries all on the same area of my upper left leg, which resulted in some large scars. It used to bother me a lot, but not anymore. I hope you can get used to your scars and own them as medals of honor for the trauma you overcame! Be proud! 🥇🥇🥇
Oh bless you, you must be so so brave to face what happened to you everyday. And to be so young you probably do not have much of a memory of being without your scars. You are a living hero everyday, every single day.
Your scars tell the story of your survival. Wear them with pride. They may make you self conscious, but I guarantee you that the story of how they got there makes people look at you in an incredible way. My step son is a burn survivor. He is covered with burn scars on 40% of his body. Seeing the incredibly painful dressing changes and the months he spent in the hospital has left a imprint of just how strong a burn victims will to live really is. You are strong, and don’t let anyone take that away from you ever.
@@belindalaw2957 sorry, but these folks are far, far beyond hot soup burns... it’s like comparing a stake through the heart to a splinter. I’m not doubting yours was very painful, but these poor people have been traumatized mentally and are set to special specific burns units because of how horrific their injuries are. Not trying to be nasty, there’s just a certain amount of respect that people earn the hardest way, by surviving the impossible, being tortured for months or years.
@@belindalaw2957 ....is this a joke?
i’m so glad they interviewed the firefighter who was there. the on-scene rescue efforts were a huge part of what happened, and a worse show would’ve glossed over it
That doctor is an incredible man. The world needs more like him and the whole team who went so far to save her life
He's my doctor currently haha
Has to be the worst pain. 🔥 Megan is a fighter!!! I would’ve probably given up. Awesome and touching video.
Oh I agree , excruciating pain for such a long period of time. I think I would have given up too. Megan is an extraordinarily strong woman and I commend her on that. So glad she survived. Such an insightful story . Brilliant job done by all the medicos and professionals involved. And thankful the other gentleman mentioned in this story survived too.
80% burn i dont know what to tell that was horrible but also lucky its not getting any worst than that
Actually no, if she suffered 3rd degree burns, she would not have been in much pain because because the pain receptors have been obliterated along with the rest of the dermis
Why can’t they give patients anesthesia or put them unconscious before removing the skin graphs?
Bravo CNA for bringing an insightful documentary to the public. I've been a resident of Singapore for the past 16 years and really proud of the wonderful work from all the medical professionals in this country.
Megan Loy speaks so clearly and calmly about something sooooooooo traumatic, I'm just in awe of her
Megan must be a very strong young lady to survive such a tragic injury. The medical team did an amazing job but it requires a fighting spirit and strong will to make it. She was so brave for such a young girl and such a wonderful bright personality despite that immense trauma. I wish her success in life.
It made me sad to hear that the first thing that she said to her parents was “I’m sorry.” She never wanted to disappoint her parents😔
I've burnt my finger and it hurts like hell so the pain these people go through you couldn't imagine it. My hat goes of to them all 🙏👏👏👍🇦🇺
Shock and adrenaline dulls the pain, at the hospital they are given all kinds of drugs to stop the pain. I once slammed my head into a rock, i had blood all over my face, but i couldn't feel the pain since i was so shocked.
@@roberts3423 severe burns are considered one of the most painful injuries to recover from. The recovery is brutal even with pain meds
@@tamaranotowitz6197 I would beg to be put in a drug-induced coma!
@@jannrhoads6930 same. The pain they go through is insane
@@tamaranotowitz6197 very true I was rideing my horse behined my sister's horse her horse went to kick my horse and kicked my Shin instead with that much force it tore through my pants I still have the scar of the horses hooves on my Shin but I was in complete shock all the way to the hospital a part of my bone got snapped away I had 11 stitches and had to walk around with cruches for two week's it dosent hurt now I don't have any feeling in that part of The leg and never Weill I don't blame the horse I should have known better not to ride Close behined another horse we learn from our mistakes and even the best of rider's sometimes get it wrong
This entire video makes me so much more grateful that when my house went up in flames due to Arson, that nobody was hurt. I cannot stress that enough. There was a moment when I didn’t know where my dad was, and seeing him unharmed was the most relieving feeling in the world. Out of 4 cats and 3 dogs, unfortunately one of our kittens was lost. Rest in Peace, Dahlia, you beautiful playful girl; catch all the mice and birds wherever your pure soul is.
This is why I want to donate my organs and everything I can when I die rather be used for parts the rot in the ground
Add to your donation information that tissue donation is also your wish. & tell your family.
I got that heart on my license too. I hope they use me to save and make people's life's better.
@@danielmccauley3765 be sure your family knows your wishes & have your doctor & hospital keep a record of your wishes. They do it all the time.
Me too!
I don't!!! Guess you are a better person than I. Well, my ancestors were treated horribly, so I don't feel to give anyone any part of my body.
I remember right b4 graduating nursing school we went to many hospitals to tour for possible job opportunities. One of them was the Shriners hospital for pediatric burn victims. I have such an enormous amount of respect for anyone who dedicates their life to this field of care. I know I certainly couldn't do it. This is a special calling for sure. God bless these medical Angel's.
Just the words of pediatric burn victims makes me sad. Keep doing god’s work!
So proud to be a Singaporean! Well done Singapore and its excellent medical teams!
Astounding presentation! I've been away from the EMS and health care system for many years so I'm extremely impressed with the advancements in burn care and related technology. Furthermore, I'm equally impressed with Miss Loy, Dr. Yik and the staff of SGH Burn Center. May the good Lord bless them and their families. Well done CNA Insider. Well done indeed! Be safe 🙏
Remembered watching this with my fam on CNA, really eye opening esp the skin bank. Goes to show how even the most obscure resources can save lives👍🏻 really takes many disciplines working tgt to run the show, props to everyone!
This medical team has been giving the gift of healing. This young woman is a miracle. What a awesome story of overcoming a horrible incident.
Megan, I salute your courage, your eloquence and I wish you all the very best for the future. I am humbled by your strength.
I recently had been admitted to a hospital for a while. For so long I was terrified of hospitals, and watching videos like this would frighten me. This is the first one I have watched since discharge, and I have found that my view on hospitals seems to have changed so much. There's so many nice people there that want to do nothing but help..they are all truly wonderful.
I am a nurse and I give so much credit to those who work in burn units, it truly is such a difficult job to have and I can't imagine working in that specialty.
I wouldn't wish being severely burned to my worst enemy. I couldn't ever imagine the pain that they endure. I'm so happy for Megan .
Not just the patient but the nurses need therapy for C-PTSD . Any staff working in a burn unit should get continuous therapy.
Yes i agree. They need continues therapy.
it should be offered to them but forcing it on them isn’t cool no one wants to be forced in therapy
@@beepbeep9043 or like have a counselor that they can visit any time.
i have a-ptsd because i was born in the US.
@@forthefunofit3230 And I DON'T have PTSD because I was born in the US.
I wasn't expecting the thumbnail to be documenting the Taiwanese water park dust explosion, was finishing my medical intership at one of the receiving centers when it happened, it was really intense.
I guess you could say I'm a burn survivor too. It happened when I was really young (around 16 months) so I don't remember it. 80% of my skin was burned and I had to get helicoptered out to a burn hospital in Sacramento with a 5% survival chance. I had 2nd and 3rd degree burns and smoke inhalation. I spent the next couple months in the hospital and then after that a year in physical therapy since my hands were burnt closed. I still have scars.
My husband had full thickness burns to 80% of his body after being doused with jet fuel after a helicopter crash. Each and every single experience that these burn survivors went through, my hubby went through. Although I still hope to this day that he felt no pain as he was put into an induced coma. His life would have been one of surgery, pain and physio therapy, and he would have been wheelchair ridden. Sometimes I think the higher beings know what is best for us all. RIP my Andre.
Have faith the almighty brings home those who are ready, even if it remains beyond our understanding. Bless you and may you find comfort in knowing you will see him again and in no pain. You are not alone. Love and blessings to you ❤
@@gabyponte6497 thank you kind Gaby.
@Debra Olivier: When I was in nursing school, we were sent to Metro Health hospital to observe and learn about burn victims. There was a 19 year old boy who was somehow burned on 95% of his body. He worked for a company that put hot asphalt on building roofs and parking lots, etc. He was so bad, he had long pins, more like stokes on a wagon wheel; this was so that his finger's would not fuse together. The look in his eyes was so....like, it was more than fear, it was terror and confusion. His eyes were screaming "why? Why? ". And the screams that came from the tub room was blood curdling. My first boyfriend put up neon signs on businesses and such. He died when his truck somehow lost control, coming back from a job in Pa. He was ejected from the cab of the truck, slid into the pool of gasoline, and they said that probably his big belt buckle sparked the fire. This was before nursing school. After the burn unit, I felt that it was better that he expired. He was a fireball. It was more merciful than if he had lived. It didn't help, but he used to say: " live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse. " I am sorry that I told you all of this, because the last thing I want to do is to cause you more pain. Every time I think of this, I place in our dear Lord's hands. I was so traumatized by this, but I did become an RN, and every patient I have, gets the best care that I am capable of. And when a patient tells me that they are in pain, I stop what I am doing, and go to get that patient their pain pill or injection....no one in pain ever waits more than 3 to 5 minutes when I am their nurse. If you don't mind, I have placed you and your loved ones on my prayer list. It isn't much, but I wish you all things bright and beautiful and peaceful. Many blessings to you. 💖
@@zombienursern4909 thank you for your reply, I truly appreciate it. Yes, I too believe it was better for my husband to pass. He had been a fit athletic man and the surgeon told me that he would never have had the use of his hands (they would continue to bend into talons from the severe trauma), he would have been wheel chair confined and he would have faced years of surgery. I know it was best for him to die. Burns are truly the most awful injuries out. There is an amazing woman in Australia that was caught in a bush fire whilst competing in an outdoor trail race. Her story is just incredible, and so is her husband's love for her. Thank you again, you are a wonderful caring person and nurse. Too many nurses these days only see it as a job, not a calling. Xxx
He's smiling down at you from Heaven
I don’t know how these surgeons do it.... any type of bloody wound makes me want to faint .. Thankyou to all the people who work to save these people’s lives!
The doctor who oversaw the SOS flight has such a calming, soothing voice and demeanour. Wonderful.
So grateful for these kind, caring, intelligent nurses.
All the best, Megan! You are truly inspirational. You didn't give up and now you are on your way to become a burn specialist. Very proud of you.
These doctors & nurses are at the top of their game. My started husband is a microsurgeon. He did a fellowship in Texas at one of the largest burn units in the mid-west. It really fucked him up. These guys are truly amazing❤️
I am a retired nurse. I have seen a lot. For me Burns are the worst. 😪
Im an Emerg physician in Tokyo, Ive seen hell on earth cause before going full hospital time I was in flight medicine
@@Mori-chandesu I’m thinking of you and hope you are doing well.
She rly has the resilience to be a doctor can never imagine the pain she went throught good job!!
Megan is so resilient. She's so pure and sweet. Apologized for something that wasn't her fault. My heart. So happy she healed physically, I hope she's okay mentally
Man I swear, some nurses have a capacity to read the mood, room, person etc. it just amazes me. I would not have thought in a million years that just being there would help that much. Good nurses are just built different.
I just want to say how gratefull I am to these doctors! When I was 2 I got 2nd degree burns all over my left arm and leg ( doctored initally diagnosed me with 3rd degree burns) and thanks to the burns doctors I am now 27 with only one faint scar that passes as a birthmark !
I remember seeing this tragedy on the news that summer, it was on the news for days, casualties going up and up. I never truly grasped the gravity of it, but when the fireman described the smell of barbecue, the smell of burning human flesh, i kinda broke. So many young lives. Truly a freak accident. Megan was so strong through it all.
So happy people like this exist in the world! Amazing to see and learn about, glad Megan still has her sense of humor shows her true resilience!
it's heartbreaking to see people having fun and enjoying their time to then suddenly being attacked by the fire and hundreds being severely injured, losing loved ones or being left with horrible scars that'll remind you of the event. it was unfortunate that some had to go to another country just to have the things they needed to be accessible to them. i hope that most of them were able to have a speedy recovery and my prayers and love goes out to those who lost their lives during the event.
I spent months in a burn unit after suffering third-degree burns to about 25% of my body. It truly awakens you as a person to be burned alive & given a second chance. 🔥
I cannot imagine being in so much pain. Such a strong young lady. Amazing recovery for both.
Wow! What an amazing and talented medical team! Not only did they save Megan’s life, but the countless others she will go on to save as well. Megan was so incredibly strong and brave! Great documentary!!
That's incredible footage. I can't even imagine standing in a sea of flames. So terrifying.
Watching doctors saving lives and victims who are brave and surviving making me learn to be humble and kind and love my life. Thanks for the video.
Thank you all doctors, nurses, allied paramedics, securities and everyone who have helped and responded to rescue all the victims of burns. You are all the true heroes🙏
Salute and respect to the operating doctors and nurses, and ICU nurses! They are so professional and able to handle high level stress! They are the hero and heroines of the patients, so much love, compassion and patience! ❤️❤️❤️
These medics are the most amazing and gifted people
Thank you so much for sharing these stories. This is really helping my cope with my soulmate laying in a hospital bed. 55% burns
I caught on fire in 1966 I was 5 years old and 75% at 3degree and the rest of me was second and first back then my chance of surviving was less than 5 present. My father was a Navy pilot so his commander had me transfer to the military burn hospital in Texas, it was the only burn hospital in the U.S.A as the that time back then you had no way to wrap the burns and they used pig skin for graphs and corpses for graphing skin on to me until I had some skin to use. A lot of men died around me, it was a sad time. ( Vietnam War) The one thing I always prayed for was, please God help these Doctors make it so people don't have bad scares like mine and make there healing faster and less infections. Today I see that my dream came true. Her scars look good! Love and light to you my friends 💞
@@kr3016 yes, that's the one my DOCTORs partner left and went to Washington State to work at Harberveiw hospital where he started a burn center there. It's funny because I live in Washington state and have been at the hospital for other reasons, it's a really good burn center. Thank you for responding to me ♥
I hope it's not too insensitive to ask, but I was wondering what happened? You mentioned a lot of men died around you, was this in the hospital or the accident?
@@kirstywright5228 it was in the Hospital, I was in a military Hospital that was made because of the Vietnam War, there was a lot of burn victim in that war that's why they put this Hospital together.
@@midgekelly6697 I'm so sorry to hear, that must have been incredibly hard.
Megan seems to have such strength of character. I’m so thankful that she survived. She will do so much good in the field.
Megan seems like a truly lovely person with such inner strength & resilience. She will make an exceptional burns specialist with her own experience. To survive 80% burns with widespread 3rd degree burns is incredible! As is Allan’s survival.
Such skill, expertise and bravery makes me proud to be human. I don’t feel that much.
Amazing what the human body can endure. I never knew about donor skin, completely fascinating. Blessings to the doctors and medical staff that gave Megan and Allan a future, the best to them both.
.
Doctors, nurses, and everyone involved are the true heros of the world.
i have so many health issues that my internal organs aren’t good to donate. but i think i’ll donate my skin when i’m gone :) i hope that it’ll bring someone their chance at life back
These stories were so tragical and magical at the same time. I'm really glad that they made it through such a horrific time.
This is nothing short of a miracle. Blessings to the Doctors and nurses that put their incredible skills & passion into her care and Blessings to Megan, my whole ❤️ goes out to her, a true hero. It broke my heart when she immediately apologized 😢. I wish all involved a prosperous life.
I suffered a bike fall and was left with bad road rash goodness I couldn’t even shower,sleep or work for two weeks! I can’t even imagine what they went thru they are inspiring ♥️
Glad to see Megan and Allan are doing well
It's amazing that she survived. Kudos to the medical team, her parents and Megan herself. The strength it takes to recover or support someone's recovery is no small thing.
Thank you CNA Insider for having such episodes. Love all of them.
Wow!!! This is amazing! Not only is their medical prowess incredible, but I am absolutely amazed and impressed by these Taiwanese people's command of the English language 💯 They speak English better than probably at least %75 of Americans I know. And Ms. Megan Roy, despite her not really being my type, per se, I must say is very, very attractive due to her personality, her perseverance, and absolutely her intelligence. God bless all them, but especially her for being so strong in the midst of adversity, and honestly being so inspirational. If you even see this Miss Megan, you are an amazing woman!!
The doctors and nurses are from Singapore general hospital
A lot of us asians are first language english educated.
I think all those nurses are from Singapore. It mentions that this hospital in Singapore is the only one in whole southeast asian region that can treat severe burns. English is official language in Singapore so it us expected that they all speak English.
Wow I’m so glad this was in my recommendation. Really informative and educational, I learnt a lot from watching this. Being a burn victim must be so traumatizing, everyone who is a victim are so strong.
To all the doctors (including Megan) and nurses ......You are HERO! Thanks for your contributions!!!!
Hard to survive. Extremely painful. Don’t like it when people feel this much pain.
What a strong woman. I can only imagine the pain of getting burned and then having to endure the operation.
That was amazing to watch, the dedication of the medical staff and doctors is wonderful 👏👏
Inspirational-- both the doctors and the burn victims are so strong! I'm glad they are doing well.
God bless those doctors, nurses and physical therapists at Singapore General Hospital, such incredible people.👏🏼👏🏼
I'm crying. Omg. I'm so glad these people are alive and I can't imagine the trauma and the pain😭😭 It breaks my heart 💔
Big respect to all the teams of doctors, nurses, plastic surgeons and the entire medical team etc. My deep condolences stand with the victims and their family. 🙏❤️
Very strong and grateful lady and fabulously committed doctors and nurses. Kudos to our Burn Unit.
been living these documentaries series from CNA!!! bravo!
This was amazing. I learned so much and Megan’s story was so inspiring.
Thank you to all the Doctors and nurses…You are all heroes and angels…What would we do without all of you..Prayers to all those affected by these tragedies 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
You are so brave. So proud of you 👍👏🏼💪💪💪
Thank you to all the burn unit workers who put up with this and save ordinary people every day❤
God bless these wonderful doctors, nurses, first responders and therapists. You guys and girls are incredible! Also, God bless the wonderful patients and their families. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Wow, hats off to Megan - she's so brave and inspirational. And I love the fact that she's become a doctor herself. What a huge compliment she's paying to the doctors, nurses and other medical personnel who helped treat her.
They say one man can't make a difference and here we have one physician who has saved the lives of countless people who he has never seen.
Please post the whole series of into the unknown
Stay tuned for the next episode, coming tomorrow!
i am amazed of human resiliency in situations like these... and i am very proud of Megan. I think she is destined to be alive after having given a 10% survival rate due to the severity of her burns. so that one day she can pay it forward. I am very glad that Megan has chosen to be a doctor so that she too can save lives just how her doctors and the entite medical team did for her.
Fascinating documentary. The doctors and nurses are the real hero's here.
