Virtual reality helps young burn patients

The multiple ways in which technology can help certain patients with medical issues never ceases to amaze me -- and it gets neater and more productive all the time.

Young patients with burn injuries can sometimes have a difficult trip back to normalcy -- but in new studies, exposing these kids to alternative forms of treatment -- virtual treatment -- can do wonders for their recovery.

Distraction from the daily torment of rehabilitation -- much of it painful -- can be largely distressing to younger burn victims -- but giving a very real diversion during these processes can be lifesavers according to some of the parents of young burn victims.
