A four and a half year old boy, hospitalized for six weeks because of third degree bums, had made a good adjustment during the latter half of his hospitalization.

Withthe aid of special attention, he became quite aware of the progress of his recovery and took an active interest in each step of his treatment.

Because of a great need in beds for new patients, he was discharged rather suddenly. When his mother appeared for the regular afternoon visit, she told him he was allowed to go home.

To the amazement and embarrassment of his mother, he refused to go home saying, that if he went home at this time his improvement would progress no further and he would always remain in his present state.

When it was explained to him that “his new skin could grow back at home, just as well as it grew in the hospital, that he would be coming back every week to see his doctors, and that the visiting nurse and his mother could help him with the exercises that made his legs grow strong”, he agreed to leave the hospital.
