"That’s all from 10 minutes on the ground, unconscious," Tim Young said, showing the burn scars on his left shoulder and left calf."I was switching to the light rail," Young said. "I got an addiction to Pokémon, I was playing Pokémon downtown Mesa. I was waiting at the light rail station, next thing I know I was being woken up by EMTs.
He said hospital staff shared that this happens more often than people think during the summer. He learned that many people burned on pavement or other hot surfaces avoid seeking medical attention and risk infections because the burns don't set in right away.Young spent two months at the hospital and after a series of surgeries, including skin grafts, finally got to go home and back to work.
"I feel bad for my coworkers," Young said"I sit there struggling wondering how I’m going to keep up with what I used to do."His two biggest takeaways from this scary experience: drink water and electrolytes; and make sure you put booties on your pets paws to protect them from the pavement.
