That's a before and after treatment picture. That's incredible.

[–] Vathsade@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

It's very promising indeed.

First picture seems very early though as she looks to still be in a hospital gown with significant swelling and peeling. In the second photo, you can still see scarring on the neck, and not where the makeup starts under her chin. Her skin looks pretty smooth though, considering. I'd assume similar discoloration remained on her face since it's visible in neck.

But regardless, what an improvement. Hope the treatment continues to improve

Doesn't count as much of an 'after' if she's caked in makeup.. :(

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

Why isn't the before and after sans makeup. You can see the more minor burns on the neck but not the major ones on the face. I want to see how the treatment actually worked out.

after rubbing alcohol was thrown onto a lit torch

Why would you even do that?? Props to the medical team, and I'm happy the victim healed so well, but seems like something that just shouldn't have happened in the first place.

, a fire broke out at Western University frat house Pi Kappa Alpha

When did Canada get frats? That's such an American thing.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 week ago

They've been up here since the 19th century, mostly at the larger universities, but they aren't in the news much because they don't cause the level of trouble the American ones do.

Never had any at my school, nor my brother's.

Must have been a tiny or very new school, or they were around and you just didn't hear about them. They aren't a big deal in Canada, generally speaking; at my school, I only ever find out about one because a friend of mine had lots of friends in the fraternity. This was at a mid-size school that's less than 60 years old, iirc.

Pretty big/old. It just wasn't a thing in Canada as far as anyone there was aware.

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that was the same at my uni. Literally the only way I heard about it was through friends of my friend, in like 3rd year. Not a big thing for sure!

Except at Western, but friends don't let friends go to Western.
