A two-year-old bay is in a critical condition after he was burned by hot water at a residence in Botswoana Road in Vanderbijlpark.
ER24 Spokesperson Russel Meiring said paramedics arrived at the private
residence and found the young patient lying on a bed in a critical condition.
Meiring said the mother sat next to her child, cooling him with cold
water and cloths. On assessment, paramedics found that the patient had
sustained burns over most of his body.
Meiring said the mother told paramedics that the child had pulled a pot
of boiling water off the stove, causing the child to be doused in the scalding
water.
“Paramedics provided the patient with advanced life support and
transported him by the AER24 helicopter to a private Hospital in Johannesburg
for urgent medical treatment Meiring added.
