    All of us are not as informed about some items but know more about other things. We should nicely correct or inform each other without being nasty.

    People, research before you write stupid replies.
    People, do your research on what hospitals & locations takes the best care of burned victims, i.e., USA Health in Alabama is the most advanced and comprehensive burn care on the Gulf Coast.
    People, research Lightning Injuries.

    We need to revamp know it all commenters who think they are so smart. Lightning victims are often burned. The nearest burn center is in Mobile…in Alabama.

    We need to revamp medical care ASAP – West Florida Hospital is right down the road but they take her all the way to an Alabama Hospital.
