[Organization of the management of burns in mass disasters]

In war-time or in the case of other mass casualties we are compelled to have recourse to a compromise between the great number of the injured individuals and the possibilities of their management. This compromise, however, should not become distorted to an inevitable concession to our medical principles. The care of mass casualties - resulting also from burns - is an integrant area of up-to-date medicine, requiring full responsibility. It is our sublime obligation to study and to teach this discipline.
