He's in hot water now

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The names and locations have been changed as to my knowledge everyone involved is still alive. about 20 years ago myself and my roommate, "Chad" were in charge of a small kitchen in a fine dining restaurant. One of our duties was to train the dish crew on how to do their jobs. As the kitchen was small and not well equipped we needed to have pans returned quickly, and as such had a special shelf where we would place hot dishes. the location of this shelf was the # 1 thing we would train them on, as burns suck. Especially those from metal utensils hot enough to remove skin. (that I know from personal experience) Along with pans, and utensils, we also placed hot water containers that held almost boiling water. One evening, a young lady, "Jill", was dishwasher. She had done the job for a few months, so knew the routine. As we were getting close to closing time, she started rushing to get the dishes done, as she had a hot date that night. she grabbed a pan full of water that had just been taken from the stove, bare handed, and proceeded to drop it. the slightly cooler than boiling water ran down the front of her, starting around the naval area. As a prior Boy Scout, and multiple burn recipient, I knew we had to get her in an ice bath, 5 minutes ago. it was then I noticed that she was wearing tight fitting jeans, which worked great at holding the water right on her skin. not caring about anything else my roommate and I tried to get her to take her pants off, to lessen the damage, as we filled a dish sink with cold water. Apparently she thought we were perverts and refused. After about 5 minutes the water was deep enough in the sink to submerge her lower body, which we did. When she had been in the sink for a few minutes we were able to have her boyfriend take her to the hospital. A few days later he came by to pick up her last check as she had obviously quit. I asked how she was doing, and he told me that when the ER attendants finally got her jeans off, she had 2nd and 3rd degree burns all over the front of her belly and legs, along with the unmentionable area. When the doctor got the full story he told her that if she had listened in the first place, and taken her pants off, she probably could have avoided some painful skin grafts. Needless to say even though she left early, she did not have quite the hot date she was expecting.
